The Entrepreneur Ball is a formal gala celebrating the brilliance, resilience, and innovation of entrepreneurs in our community and surrounding areas. This elegant evening is more than just a night of glamour — it’s a strategic investment in the future of our organization and the entrepreneurs we serve. We want to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship that helps strengthen the very community we serve.

We'll be bringing together business owners, leaders, and supporters for a night of purpose, connection, and impact. More than a celebration, the Entrepreneur Ball serves as a major fundraiser that directly supports EmpowerNet’s mission-driven initiatives. A significant portion of the proceeds will fund our Kidpreneur Academy, where young aspiring entrepreneurs learn creativity, leadership, and the fundamentals of building a business. Additional funds will support our youth literacy programs, helping children develop the confidence, communication skills, and critical thinking needed to thrive academically and professionally as well as year-round programming, including wellness-focused expos, business education workshops, networking events, and visibility campaigns for small business owners. 

Your ticket purchase helps us expand access to resources, amplify underrepresented voices, and build a foundation for sustainable growth across our community. This gala is our way of honoring the journey of entrepreneurship — the late nights, bold ideas, and unwavering commitment to building something meaningful. It’s also a chance to connect, celebrate, and contribute to a movement that uplifts small business owners, fosters collaboration, and creates lasting impact.

The Entrepreneur Ball is not only a night to raise funds, but also to give business owners a rare opportunity to simply enjoy themselves. Entrepreneurship is rewarding, but it can also be heavy, long days, constant decisions, and the pressure of carrying a vision forward and sometimes you just need a night off. This is our way of giving back. Giving them a night to breathe, celebrate, and let go of the daily grind. It’s a chance to dress up, laugh, dance, and enjoy great company so grab your ticket, get that outfit together and get ready to hang out at what we are sure will be a night to remember! SEE YOU THERE!!
