Yuletide Ball
Join us on Saturday, December 12, 2026 for an enchanting evening of winter wonderland whimsy as we celebrate 135 years of nurturing young minds! This historic anniversary is a milestone reflecting more than a century of innovation and impact.
The Yuletide Ball provides critical support for our early childhood education programs that help children, ages 2 to 5 living in Central Brooklyn, thrive in kindergarten and beyond. Funds raised from Yuletide directly support BKS’s Inclusive Learning Program, which provides children with on-site early interventions such as occupational, play, and speech therapy, creating developmentally appropriate learning environments in which every child can learn, grow, and succeed alongside their peers.
Host a Yuletide Gathering Before the Ball!
Dinner hosts are the cornerstone of the Yuletide Ball. Every host, every dinner, every gathering is unique. Yuletide dinner parties can take any shape; sit-down affairs, themed dinners, cocktail receptions, or simply getting dressed up and having dinner at your favorite local restaurant.
We provide each dinner host with a custom donation page for you to share with your guests. It is important to note that you do not need to be a member of the Heights Casino in order to host a dinner or attend the Yuletide Ball. All are welcome. Have questions or want to talk through ideas? We’d love to help! Please contact Janet Diminich, Director of Development, at Jdiminich@bksny.org.
