Local Causes to Enhance Lives
The Go Jen Go Foundation started in 2009 when co-founder, Jen Pagani, was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer. During her 6½ years of treatment, Jen realized there was an unmet need in our community – patients were missing treatment due to lack of transportation, childcare, and being unable to miss work. She began to pass out gift cards to other patients so they could feel financial relief and support. Go Jen Go’s goal is to provide critical assistance and family support to local individuals facing the financial burden of breast cancer. Our programs help cover household expenses including housing, utilities, transportation, and groceries/necessities. In addition, our Mood Williams Camp Fund provides camp opportunities for patient’s children, while our Operation Spread the Joy Program uplifts families by delivering gifts during the holidays. With over 115 families supported each month, Jen’s legacy continues as we help cover the finances so patients can focus on their health and families.

With Community and Charity
Ballantyne Ball is a 501(c)(3) organization that showcases a masquerade gala focused on community and charity at the Ballantyne Hotel. As Ballantyne’s signature annual gala, our mission is to partner with the local community to unmask impactful charitable causes in our own backyard. Everyone involved in planning the Ball – including directors, committee members, volunteers, vendors, supporters and attendees – is dedicated to giving back to Ballantyne and Charlotte.

Once Upon A Bundle
As September marks National Literacy Month, Ballantyne Ball and Baby Bundles join forces to promote positive beginnings and bright futures for local families facing financial hardship. Every donation to the “Once Upon A Bundle” campaign sponsors the purchase of new baby books and blankets for Baby Bundles’ signature care packages. Packed with clothing and essential baby items valued between $350-$400, the bundles meet the emergent needs of newborns and provide resources that support brain growth, healthy development, and caregiver bonding for well beyond the first year of a child’s life.

A Decade of Giving
In 2025, we celebrated ten years of collaboration, generosity, and impact cultivated by an event that unites community and charity. It has been a privilege to partner with 10 local organizations working towards better futures for families and vulnerable populations.
Thank you to all past and present sponsors, guests, directors, committee members, and vendors for making Ballantyne Ball a masquerade experience not-to-miss since our inaugural event in 2015.
