Be Part of the Night That Changes Lives

Since 2009, the Ball Homes Night of Hope has filled the Lexington Opera House with uplifting music, powerful client stories, and an inspiring keynote.

Proceeds directly support the Hope Center’s mission to combat homelessness, substance use disorder, and mental health challenges. Join us for an evening that celebrates hope, healing, and the community that makes it possible.
