Fishers to honor 3 teens, victims in a South Carolina crash

Many Fishers residents know that three local teenagers died this week in a tragic car crash early Monday morning in South Carolina.

The families of Brianna Foster, Elle Gaddis, and Belle Gaddis have partnered with the City of Fishers to host a Celebration of Life in remembrance of the teens on Saturday, August 21 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater (6 Municipal Drive, Fishers).

The celebration is open to the public.  Those coming are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and wear bright colors in honor of the teens’ “radiant and vibrant spirits.”

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness will give remarks at 7:30 p.m. followed by reflections from the teens’ families and friends. The event will be livestreamed on the Fishers Magazine Facebook page beginning at 7:30 p.m.

In addition, Hamilton Southeastern High School’s student-led Blue Crew plans to honor the victims at Friday night’s football game at Hamilton Southeastern High School (HSE), where Elle and Belle were enrolled in their senior year. Foster is a 2020 HSE graduate.

A candlelight vigil is planned for 6:15 p.m. at Tailgate Town, and the teens’ parents will serve as honorary coin flip guests. A moment of silence is also planned before kickoff.
