Charity Ball

At a previous Charity ball Hopkinsville Junior Auxiliary raised $21,000 for Aaron McNeil House

The Junior Auxiliary raised over $21,000 for the Aaron McNeil’s Children’s Backpack Hunger Program at our previous Charity Ball.  This money will impact over 175 children through the program.

The Hopkinsville Junior Auxiliary entertained almost 150 members of the community with a silent auction, live music and hors d’oeuvres. The organization brought in 39 “Friends of Junior Auxiliary” sponsorships.

“The Aaron McNeil House is doing such great work in our community, and the Backpack Program offers a service to children who are food insecure right here in Christian County – and we all have a soft spot for children in need,” replied Nicole. This program fills a bag of food for school aged children to help supplement their diet over the weekend.  “There are some parents who can’t make their food dollars stretch… or they can’t buy the healthiest stuff because they can’t afford it,” said Tamera Standard, Administrative Assistant to Aaron McNeil House. This program allows these children to get the nutrition they need, and gives the parents or guardians a peace of mind.

A tradition since the beginning of Junior Auxiliary, the Annual Charity Ball is the culmination of months of hard work, community dedication and giving back.  Each year the members of the Hopkinsville Junior Auxiliary vote on a non profit organization in our community that they would like to donate the proceeds from the event.
