UW-Eau Claire's annual drag show and fundraiser, The Fire Ball, returned for its 15th year in a two-night extravaganza, Feb. 21-22. With a lineup of 10 performers – Diablo, Taylor Ashton, Sheyonce, Kenya Sanchez, King Phantom, Amber Hudson, Setareh Ouellet-Sodi, Julia Starr, Aphrodite, and Skynsuit – hosted by Khloe Wold and Coco Latté, this year's Fire Ball theme was "Freedom."

After the two-day event, Wold took to social media to share gratitude for the community – and the total fundraised: "I was hoping to break my goal of raising just over $1,000 for queer prom lat year and make it to $2,000," Wold said. "With the help of so many we were able to raise $6,000. I'm in awe. Thank you to everyone. For every single hard earned penny. This will make more of a difference than you'll ever know."
