SNEAKER BALL '25 RECAP

On Saturday, November 2, 2025, HOPE Center Harlem hosted its third annual Sneaker Ball at The Riverside Church, welcoming guests into an unforgettable evening where elegance met purpose.

With this year’s theme, The Secret Garden, the space transformed into a lush, immersive experience inviting over 300 attendees to celebrate mental health awareness in a way that felt both elevated and deeply intentional. The evening featured special appearances by Pastor Mike and Dr. Lena Green, an incredible DJ who kept the energy alive, and a curated culinary experience that brought both flavor and flair.

Bigger, bolder, and set in a new iconic venue, this year’s Sneaker Ball continued to highlight HOPE Center Harlem’s commitment to accessible mental health care for youth and adults—reminding us all that healing, joy, and community can exist in the same space.

Special thanks to our 2025 sponsors: Mt. Sinai, Disaronno, and Liberty CoCaCola.
