Yuletide Ball
12/11/2010 - By Brooklyn, NY

Yuletide Ball

The Yuletide Ball celebrated its 90th year as the cornerstone of the Holiday calendar in Brownstone-Brooklyn on December 11, 2010, continuing its important work raising vital funds for early childhood education in underprivileged areas of NYC.

Over 700 attendees, decked out in black tie, were on hand at The Heights Casino to help support the signature project of the Yuletide Ball, The Brooklyn Kindergarten Society.

The Yuletide Ball was originally established in 1920, and from the mid-1940s to late 1960s served as Brooklyn's major debutante ball. In its modern incarnation the Yuletide Ball provides Brooklyn Kindergarten Society (BKS) with critical funding for five preschools located in New York City Housing Authority apartment complexes in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights and Brownsville. BKS serves more than 300 children and their families in full-day programs throughout the year. In addition to providing essential operating and management support for the centers, the proceeds from the Ball enable BKS to offer enrichment activities in all five centers. These include pre-literacy and language development programs, music and arts instruction, and support for social service staff who provide counseling, referral services and workshops for children, parents and staff.
