Catholic Charities NH will mark its 80th anniversary with a special Sweetheart Ball on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Manchester.

The evening will feature a joy-filled celebration of 80 years, bringing healing, comfort, and empowerment to individuals and families throughout New Hampshire. Attendees will enjoy dinner and dancing, a live auction, raffles, and uplifting surprises that highlight the impact and caring spirit of the Granite State’s largest human services organization.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Catholic Charities NH programs that provide critical support to New Hampshire residents facing poverty, hunger, homelessness, mental health challenges, isolation and other challenges, helping them regain stability and hope.

“Eighty years is an extraordinary milestone – made possible by the compassion and commitment of our supporters, staff and community,” said Tom Blonski, president and CEO of Catholic Charities NH. “The Sweetheart Ball honors that legacy while bringing people together for an evening of joy, connection, and purpose – a true celebration of love in action.”

Held in place of the organization’s annual Mardi Gras Gala for this year only, the Sweetheart Ball is made possible through the generous support of our community and sponsors, including our presenting sponsor, CGI Business Solutions.

Opportunities for high-visibility sponsorships and advertisements are available to local businesses and organizations looking to make a difference.
