Through the Looking Glass - A Mad Gala - Charity Ball 2025

Now in its 54th year, Junior Auxiliary of Jonesboro’s annual Charity Ball is an event looked forward to by so many because of both the elaborate evening itself and the cause for which it raises money – the children of Craighead County.

The 2025 Charity Ball chair, Kelsey McFadden, now in her fourth year with Junior Auxiliary of Jonesboro (JA), has been working year-round with the 95 active members of the nonprofit organization to make “Through the Looking Glass – A Mad Gala” an enchanting evening for guests. Charity Ball will take place on Feb. 22 at the Red Wolf Convention Center, where the creative theme will come to life amid live music, gaming and more.
