What is Patriots' Ball
Patriots Ball is HAT’s largest signature event which occurs in the Spring. Hamilton Elementary, Fine and Performing Arts School with a mission to inspire lifelong learning, serves more than 480 students from diverse families across Chicago. The proceeds from the Patriots’ Ball directly benefit Hamilton’s academic, arts and wellness programs. This year we will be celebrating the 15th anniversary of the event.
Each year, HAT’s goal is to create a celebration for Hamilton families, friends and staff. Through this community we come together with a common goal of raising money for our kids, school and their education.
