Celebrating 20 years of saving children from abuse & suicide

ICPYAS presents Treasure our Children Gala in Carmel

The Indiana Center for Prevention of Youth Abuse and Suicide (ICPYAS) will play host to the Treasure our Children Gala on Saturday, Sept. 24 at 502 East Event Centre in Carmel.

The evening will feature live music performed by local band Jai Baker 3. In addition to celebrating the organization’s 20th anniversary, the event will raise funds and awareness for the youth abuse and suicide prevention programs ICPYAS provides to students in 10 different central Indiana counties.

Guests will enjoy dinner and cocktails, along with a silent auction, wine pull, and live auction. The live auction will feature items such as a Traeger smoker with accessories, an Indiana Pacers experience with behind-the-scenes tour, Colts Tickets for Oct. 2 with sideline passes, and much more.

Tickets are $125 per person, or $235 for a pair and can be purchased at one.bidpal.net/treasureourchildren22. This event will have a discount for a Lyft ride upon registration. If interested in sponsoring or purchasing tickets, contact Maggie Owens at maggie@indianaprevention.org.

“We are excited to bring people together this year to celebrate the legacy of Chaucie Quillen, while also celebrating the growth and success we are experiencing at ICPYAS,” said Maggie Owens, Director of Education and Community Relations. “This year is extra special since we have not had an in-person gala for the past few years. This truly is a celebration of hope, resilience, and prevention and would love to have you join us.”

The Treasure our Children Gala celebrates the work of ICPYAS to protect and empower local youth. The event will share highlights of the center’s largest year to date and empower attendees to protect the children in their lives. All proceeds will go toward the prevention of youth abuse and suicide in central Indiana.
