The Rotary Club of Fishers has announced that Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness will serve as Honorary Chair for the 15th Annual WaterIsLife Charity Ball, set for Friday, December 6, 2025. The black-tie event will take place at a new holiday venue inside the Fishers Arts & Municipal Complex.

Presented by the Rotary Club of Fishers, the WaterIsLife Charity Ball has become one of the city’s premier holiday traditions, drawing community leaders, philanthropists, and residents together to support clean water initiatives in Sierra Leone.

This year’s event celebrates a major milestone for the WaterIsLife project, which has funded more than 200 clean water wells—providing access to safe water for over 500,000 people.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mayor Fadness as our Honorary Chair,” said Tom Branum, Chair of the WaterIsLife Project. “His leadership and commitment to community make him the perfect ambassador for this life-changing cause.”

The evening will begin with the lighting of the city’s Christmas tree and holiday lights, followed by a formal dinner and entertainment. The program includes a gourmet three-course meal, live and silent auctions featuring exclusive items, holiday music, and dancing.

Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets early and explore sponsorship opportunities, which include VIP seating, special recognition, and a private reception with Mayor Fadness.

The Rotary Club of Fishers, part of a global network of more than 1.2 million Rotarians, continues to support both local and international causes—from clean water projects in West Africa to mental health and accessibility programs in Fishers.

“Whether it’s your first time attending or your fifteenth, your presence at the WaterIsLife Charity Ball brings hope to others,” said Rich Phelan, the club’s 34th president. “Together, we can continue this life-saving work—one well, one village, one family at a time.”
