Step Into Style. Step Up for the Community.
Join Us for the 3rd Annual Kicks for Kids Sneaker Ball
Mark your calendar—because this is not just another event. It is where style meets purpose, and where the Austin community comes together to make a real impact.
The 3rd Annual Kicks for Kids Sneaker Ball returns on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 8:00 PM, hosted at the Courtyard by Marriott in Pflugerville, Texas.
This signature summer kickoff event is more than a night out—it is a movement to uplift youth and empower families across the greater Austin area. This year’s event serves as a stylish summer kickoff, bringing together community, culture, and purpose for an unforgettable evening. Our goal is not only to grow attendance and sponsorship support, but also to expand our impact by providing scholarships and stylish sneakers to underserved children, recognizing that confidence, self-esteem, and positive self-image can play an important role in supporting the mental health and well-being of children and families throughout our community.
Since 1993, the Epsilon Iota Foundation has remained committed to uplifting youth and families, impacting thousands through scholarships, mentorship, and community programming. The Kicks for Kids Sneaker Ball is one of our premier initiatives advancing that mission.
