A Knight In Emerald City
On Friday March 28nd 2025, Christ the King Regional School (CKRS) is hosting its 13th Annual King’s Ball at Lucien's Manor! This upscale event will host approximately 300 guests for dinner, charitable gambling, and a silent basket auction! This event serves as the premier fundraiser for CKRS, closing the gap between the cost of educating our children and the cost of tuition.
Attire & Dress Code Guidance:
Think of the evening as "a Nice Night out in the city". Jeans may be worn, cocktail dresses on some, & blazers/button downs/business casual for guys. Consider it a comfortable dress code so no one feels like they have to get something extra fancy to attend. Feel free to dress in the theme of the night.

Knight of the Night
Ann M. Madden, Esq.
Ann’s involvement with Catholic education began almost 20 years ago when she enrolled her son, and two years later, her daughter, in pre-school at Blessed Edmund School. While there, she served as a room mom and worked to plan many school-wide events. Understanding the true value of a Catholic education, Ann enrolled both of her children at Christ the King Regional School where they attended from kindergarten through eighth grade, graduating in 2020 and 2022. During her tenure at CKRS, Ann volunteered as a room parent every year, she served as the PTA Co-President and, most notably, along with Principal Anne Hartman, she started the first annual King’s Ball, which is now in its 13th year. In her capacity as the King’s Ball Co-Chair, Ann worked as the sponsorship coordinator for ten years and is credited with working tirelessly throughout that time to raise close to a half a million dollars in sponsorship money in support of Christ the King Regional School. Ann has served on the CKRS School Board since 2016, becoming the School Board President in 2019, a position that Ann still holds. She is a Eucharistic Minister at her church, Holy Eucharist, where she also volunteered for two years as the Secretary of the Finance Council. In 2018, she was appointed to serve a two-year term on the Camden County Bishop’s Council.
Ann’s dedication to Catholic education continued at St. Joe’s Preparatory School where she volunteered to help plan many school events, and she served as the Fashion Show Co-Chair. She was also a co-founder of an annual service project for the school’s baseball team which collects and donates gently used baseball equipment for youth in the City of Philadelphia who would not otherwise be able to play baseball. Ann’s work continues now at Merion Mercy Academy where she has assisted with the school’s largest fundraiser, Sip & Bid, and she has provided support for the school’s annual Fashion Show.
