Shepherd Community Fundraiser

One Can Make A Difference
Fundraiser

We are putting together a fundraiser for Shepherd Community Center. There are 50 tickets remaining for those that would like to come and show their support for Shepherd Community Center at 4107 E. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46201.

Here is additional information about our fundraising event:

What: One Can Make A Difference Fundraiser for Shepherd Community Center

Where: The Oak Hill Mansion • 5801 E. 116th St. , Carmel , IN 46033

When: Thursday June 5, 2008 Silent Auction begins at 6:00 PM, Dinner at 7:00 PM.

You must RSVP by June 1st - There are currently a limited number of tickets available at no cost - due to the generosity of our event sponsors.

Why: Around 550 women and children have been integrated into Shepherd Community Center’s programs that were previously served by Indianapolis-based Wheeler Mission Ministries. Last February, Wheeler moved back to their focus, which is providing goods and services to the homeless, poor and needy of Central Indiana. Shepherd, whose mission is to aid families and children on Indianapolis’ near east side, has begun integrating these individuals into their existing continuum of care. This has created some significant funding needs for Shepherd. Our goal is to raise awareness of those needs and help off-set them through a fundraiser, “One Can Make A Difference”. We hope you will consider attending the fundraiser or donating directly to Shepherd Community Center and aid their mission to break the cycle of poverty.

RSVP to:
Jeff or Susan Dage.

INDYFRINGE AWARDED $10,000 CICF MATCHING GRANT

The Indianapolis Foundation, a CICF affiliate has awarded a matching grant which will be paid at a 1:1 match ... every fundraising dollar will count toward a match of $l0,000. Please help us 'kick off' this matching grant by attending the TJ Dawe IndyFringe Fundraiser

Fringe is alternative live theatre. Dawe has been doing it since he was 19 and has performed at 60 fringe festivals around the world. And he's graciously waving his usual fee for the IndyFringe show since it's a fundraiser for the fourth annual, non-profit Indianapolis Theatre Fringe Festival. "I know what it's like starting out on the fringe circuit and trying to establish yourself. What I see is that when a city starts a fringe festival, it grows every year progressively, so anything I can do to help out, I'm more than happy to do it," Dawe explains.
