Madelyn’s Fund Announced as New Hosts of the 37th Annual Nutcracker Ball

CHARLOTTE, NC (December 10, 2024) – Madelyn’s Fund is honored to announce that we have been selected as the new hosts of the beloved Nutcracker Ball. We extend our deepest gratitude to Baby Bundles for their years of dedication in building this cherished event, and we are excited to continue its rich tradition while elevating it to new heights in 2025.

The magical evening will take place on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at the iconic Charlotte Country Club. Combining timeless elegance with a meaningful purpose, the Nutcracker Ball will raise vital funds to support families navigating the challenges of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). By bringing the community together for an unforgettable night, Madelyn’s Fund aims to minimize the financial stressors faced by NICU families so they can be fully present for their babies.

A Holiday Tradition with Meaning
For 37 years, the Nutcracker Ball has brought families together to celebrate the holiday season while making a profound impact. Rooted in German folklore, nutcrackers symbolize strength and protection—gifts that bring luck and watch over loved ones. This symbolism aligns perfectly with Madelyn’s Fund’s mission to support and protect families during their most challenging times in the NICU.
