2009 Halloween Howl to benefit Riley Hospital for Children

On Friday, October 16, 2009, the fourth annual Halloween Howl fundraiser will take place at the Conrad Indianapolis hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana from 7:00 p.m. until midnight. Over the past three years, this exciting event has been a huge success and has raised much needed funds for local charities. This year’s Halloween Howl will benefit Riley Children’s Foundation.

Riley Children's FoundationRiley Children’s Foundation is committed to improving the health and well-being of Indiana’s children through philanthropic leadership in support of Riley Hospital for Children and its research programs, Camp Riley for Youth with Physical Disabilities and the James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home. Riley Children’s Foundation is pleased to have a group of volunteers from Woman’s Life Indianapolis Chapter 611 who are busy planning to make this year’s event the best Halloween Howl yet! For more information about Riley Children’s Foundation, please visit www.rileykids.org. For more information about Woman’s Life, please visit www.womanslife.org.

YOU can help create a safe and fun area for Riley children and also help to improve their emotional well-being.

We anticipate over 400 guests at this year’s Halloween Howl, including some of Indianapolis’ most prominent corporate and community leaders. We invite YOU to be part of this major fundraising event!

I am wondering how some of you get committed volunteers for your organization.

Tiffany, Carol, it's good to see you here. Here in Whiting we're gearing up for a community museum. Capital funding will likely come from a TIF district; we're still deciding on the approach to operating funding.

I just finished an annual giving database project with the Elmhurst Historical Foundation, which is similar in scope to what we might do in Whiting. Elmhurst is one of Chicago's Western suburbs.

It looks like we have a lot in common.

Greetings, All -- I am glad to find a few places to become more involved in Smaller Indiana. I serve nonprofits in two capacities; as the sole staff for the Association of Indiana Museums; and as a freelance grant writer for area nonprofit organizations, specializing but not solely with cultural nonprofit organizations. My background is an MA in museum administration, and I've worked in or with museums for 20 years. Museum networking is also available at indianamuseumpeople.ning.com. Thanks --- Tiffany

Hi there. I am new to this group and would like to introduce myself. I spent the last 12 years working for non-profits (Indianapolis Zoo, Riley Children's Foundation and Methodist Health Foundation) "behind-the-scenes." In April I launched Data Sense, LLC which focuses on training, consulting and implementation in development services -- prospect research, prospect management, database usage and management, tracking and reporting. I am looking forward to participating in conversations posted by the group.
