Sapphire Ball is Taking a Year Off!
Save the Date! September 8, 2012!
The Sapphire Ball, Summa Foundation's signature gala and one of Akron's premier events, will be on hiatus in 2011 and is set to return September 8, 2012. Anticipation for the black-tie affair is already mounting and in an effort to exceed expectations and standards set by last year's ball, the committee will take an additional year to focus planning and resources on executing a truly incredible and memorable event.
