Nearly 600 members and guests celebrated the beginning of the holiday season with a successful Holiday Fundraising Luncheon and Style Show. Attendees shopped for holiday gifts among the hundreds of items available in the Silent Auction and for new clothes from Secret Ingredient (the style show sponsor and clothing provider). Proceeds from the ticket sales and silent auction will support the four philanthropic programs serving children and adults throughout the Indianapolis community. 

The Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust took this opportunity to award a $25,000 grant. Other major grantors also recognized included: MCR Charitable Foundation Inc., The Clowes Fund Inc., the Peyback Foundation and Conseco Services LLC. 

• The Style Show featured three celebrity models: Mo Merhoff, president, Carmel Chamber of Commerce; Mary Weiss, president, CEO Indianapolis Woman; and Nicole Misenick, WTHR weekend meteorologist.
