Crystal Flash sinks a hole in one for homeless women & children

Thanks to platinum sponsor, Crystal Flash, this week’s Golf 4 Giving event pulled in a field of golfers and sponsors who came out in support of The Salvation Army’s shelter for women and children. This was the 11th year for the event, this year held at the Golf Club of Indiana.

WISH-TV8‘s Eric Halvorson agreed to host for the second time. “With the current economic difficulty and request for assistance up, I was more than happy to be here and help The Salvation Army help those in need in our community,” said Eric Halvorson.  “The Salvation Army is impacting lives right here in Indianapolis, just as they’ve done for many, many years.”

Last year’s event raised more than $28,000. Read more

Fall…Already?

“When the apple is ripe, it will fall.” ~Proverb

Temperature-wise, yesterday was starting to feel like Fall! Before you start to feel sad about Summer slowly wrapping up and Fall creeping in, just remember this – all that means is that The Salvation Army will be out in the community in full force delivering coats and toys to children, gifts to shut-ins, and raising the money necessary to support these important programs.

First up? Apple Fest! Apple Fest will take place on October 1st down on Monument Circle. As part of our Homelessness Bites campaign, you can find more information about it here:

Hope to see you there!
