Sneaker Ball – one of After School Matters’ most anticipated events – takes place Friday, April 25 at Chicago’s Punch Bowl Social, 310 N. Green St., hosted by the organization’s Associate Board. Guests sport their coolest “kicks” and party in style to support the futures of Chicago’s teens. A one-of-a-kind celebration, Sneaker Ball features performances and activations by After School Matters teens, games, live music, food, drinks, and more. Proceeds from Sneaker Ball support the After School Matters Stipend Fund, which helps provide paid after-school and summer program opportunities for Chicago teens to explore their passion and talents in the arts, communications and leadership, sports, and STEM across Chicago. Friday, April 25; 7-10 p.m.
