SCHEDULE

A Fundraiser for Community Empowerment

Dear Friends,


We are thrilled to invite you to this year’s fundraiser, a vibrant celebration of India’s folk heritage through captivating performances that honor tradition, storytelling, and artistic expression. This event is more than a cultural showcase—it’s a powerful act of community support and solidarity.


For years, our organization has partnered with local nonprofits to uplift marginalized women and children, donating over $125,000 to causes that promote safety, healing, and opportunity. This year, we are proud to support two vital organizations making a difference in Greater Lafayette:


  • YWCA Greater Lafayette Domestic Violence Intervention & Prevention Program -Providing life-saving services for women and families, including crisis intervention, health programs, and empowerment initiatives.


  • LARA (Lafayette Adult Resource Academy) - Providing adult education, workforce development, and English language instruction to help individuals achieve self-sufficiency and lifelong success. 


  • Sunnyside Intermediate School - Supporting educational enrichment and student well-being through inclusive programs that foster growth, creativity, and academic success. 


Together, we can amplify their impact and help build a safer, more compassionate community for all.


We invite you to join us in this celebration of culture, compassion, and collective action. Your presence and support will help us continue this meaningful journey—where every dance, every donation, and every voice contributes to lasting change.


Warm Regards,

Indian Women's Association
