The Crystal Ball is the Community Foundation’s biggest annual event, responsible for raising a large portion of the organization’s annual operating expenses. It was honored as Mississippi’s Outstanding Fundraising Event at the state’s National Philanthropy Day. Sponsors and other attendees will help the more than 400 nonprofits assisted by the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi, which receives all proceeds from the gala. The gala is a fun way to fulfill the Foundation’s mission of connecting people who care with causes that matter.
