The Indy Family Foundation will host two fundraisers in 2007 to support the
Benevolent Fund of Motorsports and its mission of providing financial support to
participants in the IndyCar Series and Indy Pro Series who have needs arising
from death, injury or illness.
source: indycar.com The Indy Foundation, a committee of the Benevolent Fund of Motorsports, was formed earlier this year to allow IndyCar Series and Indy Pro Series community serve as in the social and development activities of the Fund. Both fundraisers will take place during the month of May in conjunction with the Indianapolis 500. They include a golf tournament at the Brickyard Crossing on May 14 and a gala on May 23. "The golf outing is our largest fundraiser for the year and it keeps getting bigger every year," said Louise Hardy, president of the Benevolent Fund of Motorsports. "There will only be 144 players allowed in this year's tournament, so all interested participants need to get their entry forms in early. There will also be a lunch, awards dinner and auction, as well as many prize holes along with a putting and hole-in-one contest." The Indy Family Foundation will host its first "Jeans and Jewels" gala event May 23 at the Conrad Hotel in downtown Indianapolis. The one-of-a-kind event will be a fun, casual event with the stars of Indianapolis 500 as the honored guests. "Guests will be decked out in their favorite jeans and all the bling they can muster," said Benevolent Fund Board Member Heather Carpenter. "The Conrad is planning a Chef's Competition, bringing together four of The Conrad's finest chefs from across the country and we're working to bring in a top-name music act." Jewels for the event are being provided by Kirles Jewelry of Indianapolis, with a percentage of sales going to the Indy Family Foundation and The Benevolent Fund of Motorsports. During the event, guests will get to sample the elegant jewelry.
