REVENT, the IRC’s annual fundraising gala, was held on Saturday, November 4 on the campus of Goodwill Industries in the gym of Indianapolis Metropolitan High School located near downtown Indy. We’re proud to announce that REVENT 2017 was a nearly zero waste event thanks to recycling provided by Strategic Materials, IRC, and food waste composting provided by Duos.
WFYI reporter Jill Ditmire served as our emcee for the evening and did a wonderful job entertaining attendees. IRC Board Members Stacey Boggs and David Vonnegut-Gabovitch facilitated the “Head or Tails” raffle to win a $500 cash prize – graciously donated by the Steel Recycling Institute. The raffle raised $1,700 for the IRC. Our art and entertainment themed auction raised over $8,000 for important IRC programs and served as a fun backdrop for the cocktail hour. IRC is grateful for all of the silent auction donations this year photos of which can be found HERE. IRC is also grateful to Monarch Beverage for donating beer and wine, Hoosier Beverage Association for donating sodas, Chipotle and Hot Box for donating food for our volunteers, The Best Chocolate in Town, Gigi’s Cupcakes, and Just Desserts for donating delicious desserts, and Jaclyn Boone Photography for being our official photographer.
The most sincere thank you to Pan Narrans Artistry, who, in partnership with La Sardina Pop Up Gallery, provided several “upcycled”, imaginative props for the photo booth and showcased jaw dropping recycled fashion modeled by fellow eco-enthusiasts, designed by Katy Newton. A warm thanks to IRC Board Members for securing donations, filling tables, and/or serving on the planning committee to help make REVENT a smashing success. Lastly huge hugs to our wonderful interns Mallory Gotsch and Victoria Goodwin, and to all the volunteers who made this event a success!
