The Friends of St. Avips is a permanent organization of 40 women who volunteer their efforts to promote interest in, and to provide financial assistance to George A. Spiva Center for the Arts. In addition to the annual ball, the organization assists in receptions at the Center sponsors exhibits, and participates in other fundraising events for the Center. St. Avips operates independently of the Center, but with its full cooperation and support.We hope you will join the 64th Annual Ball on Friday, May 1st, 2026 — for the Fleur de Mai Ball, a celebration of May Day. St. Avips will once again host the ball in the breathtaking space of the Harry M. Cornell Arts and Entertainment Complex which houses George A. Spiva Center for the Arts.
Since 1963, the Friends of St. Avips committee has raised over $1.8 million dollars for Spiva by hosting the annual ball. Through fundraising efforts of the Friends of St. Avips, Spiva has expanded programs to better serve our community and the surrounding area — making Joplin an even more desirable place to live and raise a family.
Thank you for your continued support of The Friends of St. Avips and George A. Spiva Center for the Arts. If you would like an invitation to the ball, please provide The Friends of St. Avips with your information at https://friendsofstavips.com/
