About The Ice Ball
The 6th annual Ice Ball is an amazing way to help Austin’s youth! This fun gala benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Texas features a live auction, gourmet food, dancing and ice sculptures. The Ice Ball raised more than $60,000 for BBBS is 2009 and hopes to raise $100,000 in 2010. More than 500 guests attended last year. Our attendees bid on a custom pool, hunting trips, vacation getaways, and local Austin goodies. We are thinking BIG for this year’s fun-filled night!
