Valentine Ball for All – Thank you!

Please accept our deepest appreciation for everyone who has taken part in the magic of Valentine Ball (more recently called Valentine Ball for All), benefiting Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital. While we had so much fun making memories with you for the past 20 years, the Upstate Foundation and Salt City Road Warriors have made the difficult decision not to conduct the event in 2025.

Through Valentine Ball, we made a significant impact together on health care for sick and injured children throughout Central New York and beyond. Your support enabled us to contribute more than $350,000 to improve various pediatric areas including mental health, cancer care, emergency services, resources for families, special needs and so much more. 

There were several factors that went into consideration of our decision, which led us to conclude that it’s no longer sustainable to host this event while keeping it a quality fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital, which is our primary mission. Thank you to all our sponsors, volunteers, entertainers and, of course, special guests. We are truly grateful for your support through the years.

If you would still like to positively impact children’s health care in our region, we hope you’ll consider donating to our Radiothon for Kids on February 11 and 12, 2025.

Again, many thanks for all of the memories these past 20 years!
