Missing her is an understatement.

Give extra love today to those you don't want to miss.

Tickets are on sale now. Don't miss your chance to join us and a chance to win $2,000.

Join us for a Speakeasy-themed Blackbird Ball, held at a repurposed barn in Jackson Township. Dust off your finest Prohibition-era (1920–1933) glad rags — costumes are encouraged, but not required to get through the door.

As in years past, Nikolina will be our MC, keeping the joint jumping all evening long. Dinner's on us, along with an open bar and dessert — and of course, we have a few surprises up our sleeves.

New for 2026: the Blackbird Ball is bringing a Reverse Raffle, with your shot at winning $2,000. Your ticket comes with a raffle number, and extra boards will be up for grabs at the event for more chances to win.

We're keeping this affair intimate — just 225 guests this year — so the odds are 1 in 225. That's not too shabby.

On top of that, we'll have a Silent Auction, Raffle Baskets, a W**e Pull, a Bourbon Pull, 33 JordynStrong merchandise for purchase, and a Donation Station for anyone looking to join us as a recurring donor.

Say, we're just tickled pink to whoop it up with you swells again this year! Tickets are scarcer than h***h during a dry spell, so don't be a wet blanket — get yours now — this shindig's sure to be the bee's knees!

This is your reminder - the 2026 Blackbird Ball will take place on Friday, November 13 at Haymakers Mill in Jackson Township. Tickets ($100 each) will go on sale later this month and will be limited to 225 tickets.

This year's event will be a Speakeasy theme (costumes encouraged but we don't have to tell you that) and will feature our first Reverse Raffle with the winning ticket holder receiving $2,000.

Don't worry, the draw won't slow down the action and we'll have a lot of the Blackbird staples for you to enjoy. Food will be provided by The Howlin Bird and Forro’s Pizza, dessert will be another masterpiece from Courtney's Cupcakes, and our amazing MC nikolinadjdiva will be back again to lead us through the evening and keep us dancing all night long.

Thank you to Platinum Sponsor: Bitfreighter EDI and Systems Integrations and Gold Sponsor: Hendrickson for joining us for 2026.

We are looking for responsible and outgoing volunteers (16+ and adults welcome) to help us - message us for details if you might be interested.
