Quadrille Ball

The Quadrille Ball, a white tie charity event, is an annual highlight of the New York ball season. Founded in 1961, the 62nd Annual Quadrille Ball will take place at 583 Park Avenue. The highlight of the ball is the Quadrille dance, performed by young volunteers. The Quadrille Ball continues a long tradition of German Charity Balls in New York; it is the most elegant event in New York’s German-American community!

Through its non-profit parent organization, the Germanistic Society of America, Inc., the Quadrille supports undergraduate, master and PhD students. Recipients are chosen with the cooperation of three highly regarded organizations: Columbia University, the International Institute of Education, and the Fulbright Commission. The graduate students have successfully concluded the Fulbright scholarship application process before being chosen by the Quadrille. Over the years, the Quadrille Scholarship Fund has supported approximately 700 students from the US and Germany.
