Events

The Queen of Hearts Ball is one of St. Petersburg's premier charitable events and a beloved tradition celebrating philanthropy, community, and service. This elegant Black Tie Formal gala features a cocktail reception, exquisite dining, live music, dancing, exciting live and silent auctions, and a distinguished program honoring this year's charitable beneficiaries and Pinellas County's most outstanding women volunteers. The Queen's Court Inc. is an all-volunteer organization, and the Queen of Hearts Ball is its sole annual fundraiser. Because every aspect of the event is planned and executed by dedicated volunteers, 100% of all net proceeds directly benefit this year's charitable recipients—Girls Inc. of Pinellas and Florida Elks for Autism.
