Hello,
What a crazy month this has been! As I sit here typing, the rain and wind are back at it again and I am hoping that you all are staying safe and dry through this unusual weather.
We've been up to our elbows in events here at the House, which means we are supporting more families than ever! Just this past Sunday, nearly 500 Hoosiers came out to support the House at Indy's very first MommyMile 5K -- a fun and wonderful celebration of motherhood. Then on Monday, we had the opportunity to thank some of our biggest supporters with special reception at the beautiful and historic Barnes & Thornburg.
At a time when our need is so great, having such dedicated and loyal supporters is critical. Our House on Limestone is consistently full each and every night and just last month, we hit an all time high of 460 unfulfilled room requests. With this in mind, we continue to need your help in providing support and services to our families in need.
Coming up, we have even more opportunities for you to get involved and help keep families close. From our annual sporting clays outing to jewelry shopping with Kendra Scott -- there's a little something for everyone!
Take Care,
Michelle Study-Campbell, CEO

Meal Groups Needed for September!
Sometimes after a long day at the hospital, a home-cooked meal can make all of the difference, and you have the opportunity to make that difference!
Get together with friends, family or co-workers to plan a menu and prepare a meal that heals for our families. We provide the kitchen, you provide the food! Not only will you be helping our families, but you will also have a great team building experience with your group of friends, family and business associates.
We are in need of meal groups for both our main House located on the IUPUI campus and our smaller House located inside Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health.
Available September Dinners (Main House at Limestone):
- Fri. 9/2
- Mon. 9/5
- Sun. 9/1
