Held in Nashville, Tennessee since 1963, Swan Ball 2025 is a white-tie gala benefiting Friends of Warner Parks and SB Initiative, Inc. Swan Ball 2025 is being chaired by Melanie Baker and Laura Niewold and planned by The Social Office. The evening will include cocktails, a seated dinner, the presentation of the Swan Award to philanthropist Brooke Garber Neidich, a performance by GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, Patti LaBelle, dancing to a nationally acclaimed band, Blue Rhythm, and a featured fine jewelry exhibit by Sidney Garber.
The 2025 Swan Ball Auction will provide significant funding for Friends of Warner Parks. A dedicated Auction Party is held at Belle Meade Country Club to feature 70+ lots that are sold, both live and virtually. Thank you to the generous donors of extraordinary trips, experiences, and treasures, to the many volunteers who make this event possible, and to the Swan Ball community for their dedication and support.
