New Heights GameChangers Ball

For the 4th consecutive year, New Heights, a non-profit dedicated to sports-based youth development and education, partnered with Empire to produce their signature GameChangers Ball. The event took place at the Major R. Owens Health & Wellness Community Center in Crown Heights, Brooklyn—New Heights' own home base.

The GameChangers Ball raises crucial funds and celebrates the impact of New Heights’ programs on youth programs. This year's ball hosted 320 guests and raised a record breaking $1.5M through table tickets, donations, live auctions, and auctioneer appeals to support New Heights’ youth programs and initiatives. 

We transformed a basketball gym into an elegant ballroom, overseeing every aspect of the event from concept to execution. Our team handled overall creative and design, production, stage programming, and produced a live performance by Michael Cartwright and music by DJ Andre Oswald.

We are proud to work with non-profit organizations such as New Heights to help create moments with impact and moments that matter.
