Rotaract Club of Birmingham members and area young professionals will don masks, tuxedos and formal gowns for Rotaract’s annual Masquerade Ball March 19 from 8 p.m. to midnight.
The black tie event will be at UAB’s Alys Stephens Center.
Rick Carter and the League of Legendary Artists, a Southern soul group, will provide live music.
A silent auction will include signed sports memorabilia, vacations and dining packages from Birmingham restaurants.
All proceeds from the ball will benefit the Rotaract Club of Birmingham Foundation. The foundation funds the award-winning Ready 2 Read program, which places libraries in every second grade classroom in Birmingham, and also supports monthly service projects for the Ronald McDonald House, Jimmie Hale Mission and Habitat for Humanity.
Since its founding, Rotaract has raised $275,000 for its foundation.
Passes to the ball are $50 before March 14 and $60 after that date or at the door. Tickets can be purchased from any Rotaract member or online at www.bhammask.com.
Entry includes hors d’oeuvres by Kathy G Catering, wine and beer. A cash bar also will be available.
