Annual Black & Gold Ball
An Evening of Elegance, Excellence, Empowerment, and Honoring Dedication
Our Black & Gold Ball is the foundation’s signature annual fundraising gala and a must-attend black-tie affair held in the heart of Des Moines. The purpose of this event is to recognize the hard work, dedication, and ambition of our scholarship recipients. This event provides an intimate setting for supporters to meet and learn about the students who are making their academic dreams a reality thanks to the ZKL Education Foundation’s scholarships.
Guests can expect a night of fine dining, live entertainment, and a program that highlights and honors our scholarship recipients—outstanding young leaders whose futures are brighter because of your support. Each year, attendees leave inspired by student success stories and uplifted by the collective impact we’re making together.
