One Night, One Cause: Indiana FFA needs your support for their ‘Blue and Gold Gala’

Indiana FFA is asking for your support by attending their “Blue and Gold Gala!”

The event is on Saturday, February 28 at the Barn at Bay Horse Inn, located at 1468 W. Stones Crossing Road in Greenwood. The evening begins with a Cocktail Reception and Silent Auction at 5 p.m., Dinner at 6 p.m., and a live auction to cap off the night.

During the event, you'll also hear inspiring stories from Indiana FFA members showcasing how their contributions make a lasting impact on their youth development and their careers in agricultural industry.

Anna Ariens, Development Coordinator with the Indiana FFA Foundation, encourages business owners and company directors to sponsor a table for their fundraiser.

“We start with a Platinum table sponsorship, which gives you three tables and starts at $8,000. The Gold sponsorship is two tables and that's $5,000. The Silver sponsorship is one table for $2,500. Our Bronze sponsorship is $1,500. Indiana FFA Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so those sponsorship donations would be a tax deduction for those businesses as well,” she says.

You can also buy individual tickets for $125 each.

All proceeds from the “Blue and Gold Gala” directly support Indiana FFA’s leadership programs, scholarships, and initiatives that benefit over 14,000 members statewide across more than 230 chapters.

Ariens adds that the purchase of your table or ticket is an investment in the next generation of Indiana’s ag leaders.

“Our communities need those grounded, dependable individuals who are willing to serve, and FFA produces those. An investment in these students is an investment in our community and our future leadership.”
