Black Tie, Blue Jeans, Have a Ball!
Join us on February 6th, 2026 at the Peoria Civic Center for Peoria’s biggest party!
What started as a local event has become Peoria’s biggest party for a cause, raising over $2.1 million for Easterseals Central Illinois. And we’re not slowing down!
We’re excited to once again bring you the electrifying Club Black & Blue. At 8 pm, local favorites Brian from the Morning Show Grind on Z92.3, Matt Bahan from 105.7 the Morning X, and DJ McFly will spin an epic lineup of rock, pop, country, and everything in between to keep the dance floor alive all night long!
This celebration is all about the children and families of Easterseals Central Illinois! Black and Blue Ball is a true Peoria tradition. Known for its vibrant, high-energy atmosphere, the Black and Blue Ball stands apart from other fundraisers by attracting young professionals and those young at heart, all dressed in black-tie and blue jeans, ready to "Party with a Purpose" for the kids and families of Easterseals Central Illinois.
Sponsorship opportunities are available now by contacting Danielle Easton at [email protected] or (309) 687-2022. We are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible environment for all attendees. Please reach out if you have any accessibility needs or questions.
Tickets are on sale now! Don’t miss out on this unforgettable night. Stay connected by following us on Facebook at Easterseals Central Illinois and Instagram at @eastersealsci
Easterseals Central Illinois provides exceptional services to help children with developmental delays, disabilities, and other special needs reach their full potential.
