Attend Beauty Marks for Girls 5th Annual Scholarship Ball
About the Event
The Beauty Marks for Girls College Scholarship Ball is an elevated annual experience designed to celebrate resilience, honor achievement, and invest in the future of girls impacted by parental incarceration.
Now in its fifth year, this signature event brings together community leaders, supporters, and advocates for an unforgettable evening centered around purpose and possibility.
Guests will experience a beautifully curated runway presentation, inspiring stories of transformation, and a high-energy scholarship celebration that directly supports young women as they transition into higher education.
Proceeds from the evening directly fund scholarships and provide continued mentorship and support for the girls we serve.
Create a legacy in your honor
Through our Legacy Scholarship Initiative, select partners and guests have the opportunity to name a scholarship in honor of themselves, a loved one, or a legacy they wish to carry forward.
All college recipients are selected by an independent scholarship committee, ensuring integrity and alignment with our mission.
Some legacies are not just remembered.
They are lived out.

“The South is a region where women and girls of color have the least access to philanthropic resources while leading innovative and impactful efforts to advance equity and justice for all,” said Roz Lee, Vice President of Strategy and Programs at the Ms. Foundation. “Ms. has a strong history of supporting WGOC-led grassroots advocacy and leadership in the South, and is eager to partner with social justice leaders and Southern funders to go deeper.”
The Ms. Foundation will seek to assemble a balanced portfolio of rural, urban, emerging, and established organizations. By advocating for greater investment within the philanthropic community, the organization aims to influence philanthropy to increase giving to women and girls of color by a significant margin.
