Cincinnati Sneakerball
Style. Community. Purpose.
7th Annual Cincinnati Sneakerball
More to Experience Ahead
Cincinnati Sneakerball has always been about more than sneakers.
It’s where style, community and purpose come together to celebrate the people, partnerships and possibilities that move our mission forward.
As Bigger Than Sneakers continues to grow, Sneakerball is evolving with us.
We’re taking time to thoughtfully reimagine the experience, building on everything our community has loved about Sneakerball while creating something even more immersive, meaningful and connected to the young people and programs at the heart of our work.
What comes next will be more than an event. It will be an experience designed to bring our community together, tell the story of our impact and help us continue Unboxing Potential for the next generation.
The next chapter of Cincinnati Sneakerball is taking shape. More to experience ahead.

Cincinnati Sneakerball History
Cincinnati Sneakerball began in 2018 when Corporate and Bigger Than Sneakers came together to create a fundraising experience unlike any other, bringing together community, culture, style and purpose, with tuxedos, gowns and, of course, sneakers.
Over the years, Sneakerball has brought together supporters, community leaders, athletes, businesses and organizations around a shared commitment to creating opportunities for young people.
Past beneficiaries and initiatives supported through Sneakerball have included Cleats for Kids, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Charitable Care Fund, Cincinnati Youth Collaborative, Saturday Hoops and scholarships for local students pursuing higher education.
Throughout its history, Sneakerball has also been made possible by an incredible community of charitable partners and supporters, including Corporate, Nike, Mercedes-Benz of Fort Mitchell, Cincy Magazine, Batterii, Maker’s Mark, Rhinegeist, My Black is Beautiful (P&G), Jason Markk, the Cincinnati Reds, Stance, Fifth Third Bank, First Financial Bank, LuxCincy Real Estate, ITA Audio Visual Solutions, PressGo Production and many others.
As Bigger Than Sneakers looks toward the future, we’re proud of the foundation Sneakerball has built, and excited to imagine what comes next.
