Noblesville Mayor’s Jubilee to benefit 6 local nonprofits

The City of Noblesville is partnering with six local nonprofits to host the 2019 Noblesville Mayor’s Charity Jubilee. Mayor John Ditslear invites everyone to this year’s event on Saturday, Nov. 9 at Embassy Suites & Conference Center in Noblesville.

The city’s annual charity event began prior to Mayor Ditslear, who has continued and grown the tradition the past 16 years. This year, Ditslear will be joined by honorary co-host Chris Jensen.

“As always, the focus of the evening is benefiting the nonprofits and raising more awareness of their efforts through the event,” said Ditslear. “I am constantly impressed with the way our community comes together to collect donations for the common cause of assisting the youth and families in Noblesville and Hamilton County.”
