INDY Events
A Premier Black-Tie Event Helping Make Our Mission Possible
The Bowties & Arrows Gala is the INDY Foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year. This often sold-out event allows us to continue our mission of helping cancer Warriors across the state of Minnesota. Each year we work hard to host an amazing event to celebrate those fighting Cancer and together raise close to $95,000 at this event each year alone. Join us for a night of fun, glitz, glamor, and inspiration.
Event Impact
This is our largest fundraiser annually with over 550 guests supporting Minnesota’s cancer warriors. This event allows us to continue our mission and vision. Although we have accomplished big things, we are not done yet! Below are additional ways this event has made INDY’s mission possible:
Created a scholarship fund in INDY’s name to be awarded to Foley High School and St. Cloud Technical College students pursuing a degree in the trades. This honors the passions of our Co-Founder, Kyle Strand, who was a carpenter and tradesman himself.
Created our Emergency Fund program to help with the expenses of gas and groceries for Warriors and their families who are in need.
Launched GVL Thrive program in a partnership with Grand View Lodge allowing warriors time away with their friends and family.
Raised funds to deliver thousands of backpacks to area hospitals and cancer centers to share with patients.
We have grown our monthly warrior program , what started as a $250 check to one warrior monthly, has turned into a $1000 check to 2 warriors monthly.
Invested in office space in Central MN to allow for continued expansion and growth.
Raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to continue living out INDY’s mission of supporting cancer Warriors with love, faith, and financial support
