“It's been amazing to see how Tonic has grown over the last nine years,” says Tonic Ball Founder and Chairperson Ken Honeywell. “When we started it, I'm not sure we ever envisioned it becoming the institution it's become. But I have to say--it not only benefits a great cause, it's a lot of fun. If I'd never been involved, Tonic would still be my favorite event of the year.”

Last year, more than 1,000 people converged at Fountain Square and collectively raised $45,000 to fight hunger. This year, Tonic Ball and Tonic Gallery are bigger and better than ever, spilling throughout the Fountain Square neighborhood! 100% of proceeds will go directly to Second Helpings’ core programs of hunger relief, culinary job training and food rescue.
