Description

Dear Valued Community Partner,     

                                                  
We are gearing up to host our 19th annual Catch the Stars Scholar Athlete Celebration at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, June 1, 2024, and your support is needed! 


This event honors Central Indiana area High School Seniors for excelling in the Classroom, being active in the Community, and participating in Athletics. Finalists are honored during a pre-game presentation and $100k in scholarships will be granted during this year’s Celebration. Catch the Stars Foundation has supported local student athletes by awarding over $850K in scholarships over the past 19 years. Our goal this year is to raise $100k to support our Scholarship Fund. 


We’re currently looking for donated auction and raffle items such as gift certificates, experiences, merchandise and/or gift baskets that can help us reach this goal. Do you have an amazing item you’d like to donate to be auctioned off?
We hope that we can count on you to help us make this event our best one yet! Our donation form and additional details are included on the next page.  


Our Silent Auction will be online May 25th-June 1st and will conclude at our Scholar Athlete Celebration at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday, June 1st. The Auction is expected to draw over 500 supporters, and all participating businesses will be prominently featured in our online catalog with links to their websites. Last year our online auction received over 2,000 views. The event takes place prior to the Indiana Fever vs Chicago Sky game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on June 1st .  All bidding will be done online, but bidders will also be able to view the auction packages at the game.


Again, thank you in advance for your contribution! We appreciate your support!  


Best wishes and God Bless,
