Glitter Ball returns to Film Row
This winter will bring back an “absolute fan favorite”; a fundraising gala known as Glitter Ball. Presented by Dunlap Codding (DC), the return of Glitter Ball brings back all of the spectacle, sparkle, and whimsy of the original, while benefitting local non-profits deadCenter Film Festival and Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC).
Glitter Ball will take place Saturday, Jan. 28 on Historic Film Row in downtown Oklahoma City at the creativity and innovation law firm of Dunlap Codding returning as this year’s presenting sponsor.
“We will build the gala structure for Glitter Ball in the center of the six hundred block of West Sheridan Avenue,” revealed event producer Kindt Steven Myers. “Glitter Ball will once again be the event of the season, sure to wow your senses and steal the winter spotlight.”
The event will feature a variety of live performances, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and premium bar, along with several signature surprises. “We’re creating a downtown wintry spectacle,” said Myers. “Last year, we had aerialists suspended 22-feet high from igloos, real snowfall, and stage performances our city is still raving about. This year, absolutely nothing is beyond imagination.”
The event will also boast live art sales organized by and benefitting Oklahoma Visual ArtsCoalitionand continue to raise funds through a special golden ticket raffle.
“Dunlap Codding is thrilled to be the benefactor for version III of this fabulous event. It's the party of the season and knowing that it also supports two of the state's premiere visual arts organizations is the cherry on top,” said Douglas Sorocco of Dunlap Codding.
Glitter Ball was founded and is championed by Melissa Scaramucci as a fundraising event. The event is produced and has been trademarked by Kindt Events, Inc., a full-service production and design company based in Oklahoma City.
Tickets are $125 for general admission (early bird price of $115 now available) and $215 for the VIP experience. Tickets may be purchased online at www.kindtevents.com/glitterball.
