Six local civic groups sponsored belle candidates for this year's Charity Ball, which serves as one of the Junior League's major fundraisers.
Hartley Carter, a senior at Gainesville High School, raised the most money on behalf of the League, earning herself this year's crown as a result. Carter was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Gainesville.
Proceeds from the event allow the volunteer organization to continue supporting projects and agencies aimed at making the Gainesville-Hall County area a better place for families.
