The Hearts Behind the Gala: Meet the Committee
Serving Our Community, Shaping Our Future
The Phenix City Mayor’s Ball is more than an evening of elegance; it is a year-round commitment to the growth and empowerment of our community. Behind the seamless execution of this premier formal gala is a dedicated group of professionals, civic leaders, and change-makers who volunteer their time, expertise, and passion to make a lasting impact.
Together, our committee handles everything from creative brand strategy, media relations, and corporate sponsorships to digital ticketing and guest experience. Our ultimate reward is seeing the direct results of this gala in our community: over $1.2 million awarded in higher education scholarships, $200,000 for dual-enrollment programs, and $50,000 distributed to vital local non-profit organizations.
