The Sugar Cane Ball — which takes place every year on the second Saturday of February — has become a staple on the social calendar, and continues to attract philanthropists, from yard and abroad, eager to outdo the sum raised the year before.
For 2024, the goal was to beat the 2023 US$95,000 figure, and auctioneer Rachael White Young was up for the challenge. In less than 25 minutes, White Young had convinced members of the audience to fork out US$170,000 towards the cause. All proceeds from the ball go to Hanover Charities and help enhance the health, welfare, and education of residents of the beloved parish.
