Dads and Daughters Came Decked Out for First Sneaker Ball in Atlantic City

Atlantic City’s first annual Daddy Daughter Sneaker Ball drew a large turnout as fathers got to spend an eloquent evening with their daughters.

The event, organized by the city, was for kids in Kindergarten through 8th grade and their dads. Attendees entering the event, held at the All Wars Building, got to walk the red carpet before being greeted by paparazzi.

They then enjoyed a night of dinner and dancing, along with a photo booth, raffles and mocktails. Attendees were encouraged to dress in fashionable attire while wearing sneakers for comfort.

“This was an unforgettable experience for area dads, allowing them to not only spend quality time with their daughters but have some fun at the same time,” said Atlantic City Recreation Director Mike Griffin.
