Welcome to Ball & Chain.  Thank you for your interest.

Ball & Chain is a collective of motivated, unique, and inspiring women dedicated to improving the status of women both locally and worldwide.  Each member strives to make a positive impact by strengthening women in participation, equality, and activism.  Ball & Chain encourages and assists members and other organizations to share the same passion as they do in women's related causes.


In just the short time of about three years, Ball & Chain has raised approximately $6,000 for worthy organizations.  With the help of our dedicated members, family, friends, and many supportive sponsors we plan to continue our quest to better more organizations everywhere.  We intend to increase our achievements with more creative benefits and fundraisers in the future using different outlets and resources.
