Nearly 200 individuals attended the Warm Heart Warm Home Fundraiser and Topgolf Tournament on Wednesday, November 17.
In 2018, the Warm Heart Warm Home Foundation™ Board of Directors set a five-year goal to increase annual contributions to the foundation to more than $1 million. To help meet this objective, the board has chosen to host fundraising tournaments at Topgolf, an indoor driving range and event venue.
At the inaugural event in 2019, enough money was raised to help more than 4,000 families struggling to pay utility bills. The fundraiser was not held in 2020 due to the pandemic.
Funds raised at this year’s event will help about 5,200 families in Central Indiana.
At Topgolf, participants earn points by hitting micro-chipped golf balls into various targets, and awards are given for first, second, and third place teams. To raise additional funds for Warm Heart Warm Home, attendees also had the opportunity to purchase tickets for chances to win several prizes donated by the event’s sponsors.
The board would like to give special thanks to Food and Beverage Sponsors Indiana Reclamation & Excavating, Inc.; Yasmin L. Stump Law Group, PC; and SAK Construction; and Hole-in-One Sponsor Pacers Sports & Entertainment.
