The Cinderella Charity Ball's impact is recognized across Arlington and Tarrant County media.
The 66th Annual Cinderella Charity Ball drew over 1,200 guests to the Arlington Convention Center, continuing a 65-year tradition of community giving that has raised over $15 million for the Boys & Girls Clubs.
Eighteen Arlington-area high school students are spending the spring raising funds for a cause close to their hearts — the Boys & Girls Clubs that serve over 8,000 local children each year.
What began in 1961 as a single fundraising event has grown into Arlington's longest-standing charitable tradition, with the Ladies' Auxiliary steering the ship for nearly six decades.
