CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The 37th annual Candlelight Ball will be virtual this year, instead of the traditional, in-person event.
Last year’s ball was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The university and the Candlelight Ball Committee initially hoped to host an in-person ball this May at the Omni Hotel in Nashville, but that city’s safety protocols made it difficult to organize a large-scale, black-tie event, according to a news release.
“This was a hard decision to make, because the Candlelight Ball is not only this university’s premier social event, but it also raises money for student scholarships,” Dannelle Whiteside, interim APSU president, said in the release. “We will miss seeing and connecting with everyone in person this year, but I hope we can still come together as a community to support our students during the virtual event.
