The Crystal Ball is La Salle's largest fundraiser of the year, with proceeds from the evening supporting academic, athletic, student life, arts and financial aid programs at the private high school.

These funds most significantly support the San Miguel Scholarship Program through which La Salle enrolls 5% of each entering freshman class into a need-based, tuition-free program for low-income families.
