An Evening with Purpose

Legacy of Champions is an upscale, formal evening designed to bring together community leaders, businesses, and supporters to invest in the future of Deaf education.

Guests will experience a sophisticated atmosphere featuring interactive entertainment, curated experiences, and meaningful connection—all while helping raise critical funds for students at the Indiana School for the Deaf.

Event Details

October 23, 2027
The Heirloom
Approximately 300 guests

The evening will feature a silent auction, interactive experiences, entertainment, and showcases of Deaf student artwork and stories—highlighting the next generation of Deaf leaders.

Why Your Support Matters?

The Indiana Deaf Children Foundation supports Deaf and Hard of Hearing children by expanding access to academic, social, and cultural opportunities.

Why Your Support Matters?

Recent statewide funding cuts have placed critical strain on resources at the Indiana School for the Deaf—impacting programs, staffing, and student support services.

Your support helps bridge these gaps and ensures Deaf students continue to thrive, not just survive.
