What a wonderful time we had at our inaugural Red for our Kids gala! On Saturday, March 11, a sold-out crowd of Riley supporters enjoyed a glamorous evening of entertainment at the Lucas Estate, including performances by DJ Gabby Love, Drummer Joe Meltdown, and The Flying Toasters. 2022 Indy 500 Champion Marcus Ericsson walked the red carpet and was the grand marshal for our parade of wagons featuring Riley kids. Thanks to your generosity, the event raised more than $252,000. Proceeds benefit Riley Children’s Foundation’s highest funding priorities:
- Bring the best and brightest to Indiana
- Respond to the youth mental health crisis
- Pioneer research advancements
- Expand access to Riley expertise
- Support the entire family
