The ball is set to raise proceeds for the Make-A-Wish Missouri foundation and Harris-Stowe State University’s scholarship fund.
St. Louis rap legend Nelly has announced his intent to host his annual Black and White Ball in December. The ball will feature big-name stars in attendance, who are coming together to support the Make-A-Wish Missouri charity organization and Harris-Stowe State University’s Potential, Possibility, and Power.
The celebrity gala will be hosted on Dec. 15 at the Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. The guest list is filled out with personalities from sports, business, and the entertainment industry.
The Harris-Stowe State University stated that they, “provide educational opportunities for individuals seeking a rich and engaging academic experience. Offering programs designed to nurture intellectual curiosity and build authentic skills that prepare students for success in a diverse society.”
Nelly expressed in a press release ahead of the Ball, “Last year’s Black and White Ball was a huge success. St. Louis showed up in a big way, and we are excited for this year. With the incredible support of our friends and the St. Louis community, we’re aiming to raise even more funds to make an even bigger impact and have a great time while doing it!”
Nelly has also been in the media this year after his former St. Lunatics crewmates hit Nelly with a lawsuit for alleged unpaid royalties in relation to their contributions to his debut album “Country Grammar.” Soon after the lawsuit was filed nearly all of the members except for one — Ali Jones — informed the rapper’s attorney that they were going to stop pursuing the lawsuit.
