And just because an event appears here on a certain date, doesn’t mean that the entire facility is unavailable for that date — we have nineteen meeting rooms with 65,000 square feet of flexible space — it’s likely we can accommodate your event needs as well.

Bravesgiving
October 24, 2026
5:30PM – 10:00PM
Bravesgiving returns to the Sharonville Convention Center for an inspiring evening benefiting children with complex medical conditions and their families. Hosted by the Brave Like Me Foundation, the annual Gala for Courage brings together hundreds of community leaders, families and supporters for cocktails, dinner, silent and live auctions, raffles, inspiring stories, music and dancing. The 2026 theme, “The Butterfly Effect,” celebrates the idea that even a small act of courage or kindness can create a ripple of hope and meaningful change in the lives of children and families.
Funds raised through Bravesgiving support Brave Like Me programs designed to create moments of joy, connection and normalcy for children navigating serious medical challenges. These include Brave Pets, which helps hospitalized children reconnect with their beloved pets; Brayden’s Books, which provides books and moments of escape through reading; and Brave Friends Adventures, which creates inclusive experiences for children and families. More than a fundraising gala, Bravesgiving is an opportunity for the Greater Cincinnati community to come together, celebrate courageous kids and help them live without limits.

Root Ball
Friday, November 13, 2026
6:00PM – 9:30PM
Camp Root Ball brings a fresh twist to Great Parks Forever’s annual fundraiser with an immersive, summer-camp-inspired evening benefiting Great Parks. Rather than a traditional sit-down gala, the 2026 event invites guests to move throughout the Sharonville Convention Center and experience interactive, story-driven stations that bring Great Parks’ mission of protecting nature and inspiring people to explore, learn and care for the outdoors to life.
Guests can enjoy substantial dinner-by-the-bite stations, craft beer from Fifty West Brewing Company, a silent auction and live musical entertainment while exploring and connecting throughout the evening. The dress code matches the playful atmosphere—think “sneakers over heels” and casual camp-inspired attire, with a special prize for the group sporting the best coordinated “cabin crew” look. The event is open to guests ages 18 and older, with Camper tickets priced at $175 and Campfire Host tickets available for $275. Proceeds support Great Parks Forever and its work on behalf of parks, conservation and outdoor experiences throughout Hamilton County.

Guests are encouraged to dress in black-and-white formal attire for an evening featuring dinner, dancing, and live entertainment. Dr. C. Keith Melvin and Bill Mabrey will host the celebration, with Lincoln Ware and Pamela Champion serving as Master and Mistress of Ceremonies. Entertainment includes live music from Page 1 Band and 2nd Wind Band, along with music from DJ Vader. What began as a gathering where cancer survivors shared their experiences has grown into an annual community celebration centered on survivorship, fellowship, and helping more people celebrate more birthdays.
