Warren Arts & Education Foundation presents the Black and Gold Gala
The Warren Arts & Education Foundation will present the Black and Gold Gala on April
14, 2023 at 5:30 p.m. at the Indianapolis Marriott East. The Black and Gold Gala celebrates the
impact that the WAEF has in Warren Township.
“During the Black & Gold Gala, we will celebrate the impact we have made together in
Warren Township throughout the year. The event raises funds to bridge the school funding gap
to create exceptional learning experiences and equitable opportunities for all Warren students.”
Executive Director of the Warren Arts and Education Foundation and Director of Alumni
Engagement Brittney Silkworth said.
This celebration will be a fun one, with a lot of different activities including a cocktail
reception which will be with cocktail attire, photo booth, dinner, both a silent and live auction, gift
card and wine pull and will introduce some of this year's grant winners. Attendees will also have
the opportunity to network with companies in Indianapolis and surrounding areas, as well as
school administrators and staff.
Something new added to this year's celebration is the after party. There will be an after
party with complimentary drinks, late night food, and a DJ. This is not just to party, your
participation will continue to remove barriers to help support learning in Warren Township.
Tables include eight seats and are available for $800 if purchased by March 1. Tables
purchased after this date increase to $1,000. Those who can't attend can still support WAEF by
participating in the online silent auction.
“During the event, we will have a silent auction. You can bid from anywhere and you do
not have to attend the event to bid. Visit www.warrenfoundation.org/gala to register for the
auction,” Silkworth said.
WAEF's Silent Auction will feature gifts that will be listed on the auction website.
Everyone who registers can bid on the gift baskets, tickets, experiences, wine and spirits, gift
cards, and a bunch of other auction items donated by friends of the organization. The online
Silent Auction will open April 9, 2023 and close at 8:00 p.m. April 14, 2023. This event is just
one of the major fundraisers for the Warren Arts & Education Foundation each year. In addition
to the Black & Gold Gala, the Warren Arts & Education Foundation will have its annual Golf
Outing at Maple Creek Golf & Country Club on June 13, 2023.
The Warren Arts & Education Foundation continues to provide opportunities and
generate funding to support college, careers, academic achievements, and experiences. All
thanks to the donations and participation in fundraisers.
“We could not do the work we do without generous donors and community partners. To
