Our Vision

Our vision is complete as of 2026. This year we will close the loop on decades worth of work. We are thrilled to announce a new venue partner which will usher in technological advances that were merely hopes in the past. We envision an event that now feels like an ‘Adult S.T.E.A.M. Wonderland’. For our FEATS students, art therapy skills taught will expand to 3D Design, 3D Printing, and more.

Stay tuned. This year we will announce our future calendar and programming plans. We are preparing for our 20th year anniversary in 2029. You can anticipate the brand expanding to a new city, a new fundraiser, and a brick and mortar concept.

Our History: The Sneaker Ball ATL journey officially began in 2009. We started by donating and collecting thousands of sneakers. In 2020, we decided to pivot and create youth programming that better fit our vision and capacity. That year we started FEATS, our sneaker art therapy program for local Atlanta middle schoolers. In 2022, we incorporated as a 501c3 organization.

Our mission is to assist both youth and adults to navigate new paths and reach higher heights. Our motto is making model citizens.
