A big fund-raising event each year for the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation is Game Day, and this year’s celebration will happen Friday, February 22nd, 6:30pm, at Conner Prairie.
Game Day raises more than $100,000 each year to support the foundation’s work funding programs for students and teachers through the Hamilton Southeastern School District. Money raised will support innovative science, engineering, technology and math (STEM); literacy; mental health; and wellness initiatives across all grade levels.
There will be something new at this year’s Game Day. The 90’s 7-piece group Mixtape will be performing live. The band is led by Ryan Ahlwardt, a 1999 graduate of Hamilton Southeastern High School. Ahlwardt is a singer-songwriter, arranger, and alumnus of the world-renowned a cappella singing group Straight No Chaser. Last summer, Ahlwardt opened for Sugar Ray at the inaugural Spark! Fishers concert.
One of the highlights each year is the silent auction. Here are just a few examples of what you can bid on this year:
* Microsoft Surface laptop from Assured Partners
* Lunch with HSE Superintendent Dr. Allen Bourff
* A vacation experience in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
* Half a beef cow
* Meet and greet and garage tour with Indianapolis 500 winner Scott Dixon
* Mallow Run wine tasting experience
* Indiana University basketball tickets
* Hard hat tour of the new Southeastern Elementary School
* A Kentucky Bourbon Trail experience
