In light of the recent passing of our friend and fellow Peirce student, Jayden Perkins, we have made the decision to post-pone the upcoming 2024 Panther Ball.

We hope pushing it back will allow our community more time and space to grieve and process our loss. We also hope it will give us time to think of how to incorporate celebrating Jayden during one of the first times our greater community will be together since his passing.

The new date is May 31, 2024 at the same location, Artifact Events space in Chicago. We will share more specific details and an updated invite in the next week. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

We'll reach out soon when we have more deatils confirmed. Thank you.
