Concrete Ball History:
The Concrete Ball began from an idea to use the memorial donations from Bill Harrod, a concrete producer and devoted
supporter of Day Spring as a capital raffle prize to raise funds. It quickly evolved from a raffle to raise funds into a black tie
event to award the raffle winner! Because of the tremendous support from the concrete industry with sponsorship and
table purchases, the event was established as The Concrete Ball. It was such a success that the entire event was sold
out before the invitations were even mailed! Over the past 14 years, The Concrete Ball has enjoyed loyal support from
members of the Kentucky Ready Mixed Concrete Association and construction industries alike. Something for the industry
to tip their hard-hats to, this event has generated over $1.7 million for Day Spring.
