Thank you for celebrating the 2025 Indiana Children’s Champion Awards, Breakfast With Champions, the accomplishments of our honorees, and our 101 years of service in Lebanon.  We are also incredibly grateful to our generous sponsors whose contributions were essential in making our event possible.

Your ongoing support has allowed our mission to serve over 5,500 Indiana children and today allows our leaders to say yes to the changing needs of Indiana’s children.  When our students succeed, Indiana wins.
