The Fall Ball Benefitting Hope Academy for Kids

It’s that time of year again! Dust off your boots, suits, and cocktail dresses—The Fall Ball is back! Join us for an evening in support of Hope Academy for Kids!

Elizabethtown Lifestyle is excited to host the 5th Annual Fall Ball on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at Thurman Landing in Sonora, Kentucky from 6-9pm. The vibe is rustic red carpet, so expect a fun mix of black tie and cocktail attire with a southwestern flair.

We’re aiming high this year with a fundraising goal of $50,000, and we need your help to get there! Proceeds will come from sponsorships, donations, ticket sales, and both silent and live auctions. Sponsorship opportunities are available at various levels.

Hope Academy for Kids nurtures and restores hope to at-risk children by providing educational, emotional, physical and spiritual support to help them reach their potential and find their purpose in life as one community locks arms and works together. They are a local after school mentorship program that cares for disadvantaged students who need additional support. Their approach is holistic; they partner students with caring adults, giving academic help, providing snacks and meals, offering recreational activities, opening their on-site clothing closet to students and their families, teaching moral and spiritual lessons, and so much more.

THE NEED FOR HOPE ACADEMY FOR KIDS

• Many students are NOT succeeding in school.

• Family structures are often frayed by hectic schedules or poor parenting skills.

• Few adults are available to be consistent, positive role models.

• Many children do not have the time for or access to recreational outlets due to financial hardship.

• Children have difficulty developing social and life skills without life coaches or mentors.

There are many barriers in the lives of at-risk children today, such as peer pressure, learning difficulties, poor academic achievement, dysfunctional or broken homes, as well as poverty. All of these strains hurt a child’s development and can leave them with lasting health challenges. Many children lack the support that is needed to succeed in their complex and broken worlds—which is where Hope Academy for Kids steps in.
