Dinner by Lidderdale, open bar from 5:30p-7:30p, program, live auction, and live music by Tony Bohnenkamp's Dueling Pianos highlighted the evening! 
Both matching gift challenges “The Ball Blitz” and the “Thanks Mom & Dad” returned this year! So many thanks goes to the Heider Family Foundation for their $10,000 match and Brian and Patty Hannasch for their dollar for dollar over $600,000 match!

The Friends of Kuemper Ball originated in 1985 when two Kuemper moms and fellow 1959 Kuemper grads, Bev (Pietig) Kanne and Betty (Schreck) Schwery, organized a fundraising event that culminated in a ball. The Ball is a celebration of the fundraising efforts, the Kuemper family and the community. Since its inception, the Ball has raised over $13.5 million dollars. Funds raised by the Ball are used for tuition assistance, technology improvements, teacher salary enhancements, curriculum development, as well as the upkeep and repair of buildings.
