The Crocker Ball is the premier social event of the Sacramento region . Typically a sold out affair, this black-tie fundraiser gathers nearly 400 philanthropists and community leaders from Sacramento, San Francisco, and the Napa Valley.

Promising an enchanting winter’s evening, the Crocker Ball features a cocktail reception in the Museum’s Historic Ballroom, gourmet cuisine, live entertainment, dancing and desserts. An eagerly anticipated highlight of the event is a lively auction of coveted items and experiences.

Past auction items range from a five-star trip to Paris for Fashion Week, complete with seats on a designer runway; an exquisite Cartier timepiece and private tour of the Cartier Mansion in New York City; an intimate dinner for eight with internationally acclaimed artist Mel Ramos held in the stunning home of a Bay Area collector; and the opportunity to walk on to a hit television show.

Funds raised from the Crocker Ball support exhibitions and education programs that serve more than 250,000 people each year. For more than five decades, the Ball has helped the Museum connect people with art, ideas, each other, and the world around them. The information below details the sponsorship opportunities available for the 56 th Annual Crocker Ball. The Museum will gladly work with you to create a sponsorship package that meets your unique business needs.
