Creative Girls Rock® 6th Annual Charity Sneaker Ball

Creative Girls Rock®️’s signature fundraiser, the Charity Sneaker Ball, returns on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at 5:00 PM at Marathon Music Works! This one-of-a-kind, creative black-tie gala has quickly become one of the city’s most anticipated charity events blending fashion, philanthropy, and community connection in a way only CGR can deliver. Guests trade traditional dress shoes for their freshest sneakers, celebrating creativity and individuality while giving back to youth, women, and families in our community.

This year’s event promises to be bigger and bolder than ever with a high-energy Casino Royale theme. Guests will enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with simulated casino-style games (strictly for entertainment), live music, performances, interactive art experiences, signature cocktails, and festive activities all while rocking their sneakers for a powerful cause. It’s more than a party; it’s a celebration designed to inspire, connect, and create lasting impact.

The 2025 Sneaker Ball is especially meaningful as it coincides with the upcoming grand opening of our new collaboration facility, the Forward Creative Commons at Bordeaux. This expanded space will allow Creative Girls Rock®️ to provide consistent, year-round creative arts programming and introduce a new cohort model to deepen our outreach and support for youth, women, and families across Middle Tennessee.

Our fundraising goal for this year’s Sneaker Ball is $200,000, with proceeds supporting the launch of the Forward Creative Commons and helping to elevate the programs and services we offer to the community. Mark your calendars, grab your formalwear and your favorite kicks, and join us for a night of celebration, creativity, and community impact. Together, we’ll lace up for a cause and help shape a brighter, more inspired future for the next generation.
