SATH Plans Valentine Charity Ball to Fund Local Services

SATH will return to the Roberts Centre in Wilmington on February 7 for its 22nd Annual Valentine Sweetheart Charity Ball, an evening of food, music and fundraising timed for local residents who support services for people with disabilities. The program begins with appetizers at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m., and dancing from 8 to 11 p.m. Attire is semi formal or formal and the featured band will be the Blue Water Kings from Cincinnati.

Tickets are priced at one hundred twenty five dollars per couple, which equals sixty two dollars and fifty cents per person, and include appetizers, dinner, dancing, a commemorative photo for each couple and door prizes. Child care will be available during the event to help families attend. The ball will also feature a silent auction and the organization is actively seeking table sponsors and auction donations to boost proceeds.

For SATH, which stands for Supplementary Assistance to the Handicapped, the ball is a longstanding revenue stream that supports programs and services for county residents with disabilities. The event's longevity, now in its twenty second year, signals steady community engagement and provides an annual opportunity for local businesses and donors to participate directly in support efforts. Beyond fundraising, the ball is likely to produce short term economic benefits for Wilmington through venue rentals, catering and related local spending by attendees.

The event also illustrates how local nonprofits complement public funding for disability services by mobilizing private donations and volunteer support. Table sponsorships and auction contributions offer businesses a visible way to engage with community needs while potentially benefiting from customer recognition.

Residents seeking tickets or information may contact Linda Allen, SATH Executive Director, at (937) 366 6657, or visit the event purchase page on peoplesdefender.com. Organizers expect the ball to bring donors together, raise funds for ongoing services, and reinforce local partnerships that support Adams County residents with disabilities.
