10th Annual No Show Ball Memphis

The No Show Ball is a play on the truth that most of the fundraisers we participate in are events you have to attend. But on the day of the No Show Ball, the event comes to you in the form of a dinner in a cooler bag dropped off at your door.  Dinner inside the cooler will feed 4. Coolers can be purchased for yourself, for someone else as a gift, or for a family in the hospital.

If you live in Shelby County, you can choose delivery on the order form to have a cooler delivered on Saturday, February 8 between 10:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M. If you live outside of Shelby County or prefer to pick up your cooler, you will choose your preferred pick up location on the order form. You can pick up your cooler on Saturday, February 10 at the following location and time:

Shops of Chickasaw Gardens - 10:00 A.M. - 11:00 A.M.

Gift a Cooler
Are you looking for the perfect way to show your support or say thank you? Purchasing a cooler is a great way to show someone that you care. Gifted coolers can be anonymous or include a personalized tag. If you are ordering more than one cooler but having them delivered to different addresses, please choose the total number of coolers you are ordering and fill out delivery instructions for each cooler. Send one to a neighbor, teacher, babysitter, grandparent, homebound friend or family, or new parents!

Help us bring smiles to families with a child currently hospitalized at Children's Hospital at Erlanger by purchasing a cooler for them. Choose “Yes - Family at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt” or “Yes - Family at TriStar Centennial Medical Center” under “Is This a Gift” on the order form. Coolers will be delivered directly to the child's hospital room on the day of the event.
