New fundraiser spotlighting art will benefit children of Hamilton County

Esther Lakes, Chairwoman and Founder of Spotlight on Art, has a long history of supporting children and families of Hamilton County.

Esther Lakes

Mrs. Lakes and her husband, O’Dell, were the long-time owners of Smith’s Jewelers, well-known for their generous support of many community organizations and charities. Mrs. Lakes serves on several boards, all of which focus on supporting children – whether they suffer from sexual and domestic violence, struggle with a disability, or simply need homework help and a hot meal. She sees the importance of helping children face life’s challenges. She has dreamed of creating an evening of art that raises funds for improving the lives of children.

On Thursday, Nov. 10 at the Hotel Carmichael in Carmel, Spotlight on Art – benefiting children from the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville, Children’s TherAplay, and Prevail, Inc. – will play host to a premier evening of art and philanthropy. Award-winning artists will commission their work at the event with shopping, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres included in the $50 ticket price. With a bit of support from many, it’s possible to make so many dreams come true by enriching the lives of these diverse groups of kids.
