The Fishers Century Club, an organization dedicated to making a positive impact on the Fishers community, has announced that the Indiana Chapter of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation has been selected as the winning charity from its Sept. 12 meeting.
The decision to support the Indiana Chapter of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation was met with enthusiasm from the Club’s members.
Kirk Klabunde, an esteemed Fishers Century Club member and local banking executive, presented the charity to the group, highlighting the vital work and impact of the Indiana Chapter of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation does to serve a need within the local community. Funds are still coming in for the meeting of those who could not attend in person but are expected to reach $3,000.
“I want to thank all my peers at the Century Club for their overwhelming support in selecting the Indiana Chapter of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation as this quarter’s beneficiary,” Klabunde said. “It’s truly an honor to be part of this dynamic group, and I’m thrilled that we’re able to make such a meaningful contribution to our community. The Fishers Century Club is like a ‘shark tank’ for local charity groups, where a great group of guys and charitable spirit come together to make a difference. I encourage anyone reading this to come join us at our next meeting on Dec. 12.”
Founded in June 2021, the Fishers Century Club has rapidly gained momentum as a leading force for good in Fishers and its surrounding areas. Members include a variety of area business leaders, community leaders, and individuals who meet quarterly. With a collective commitment to community charitable groups, the club is approaching nearly $30,000 directly given to chosen charitable organizations.
The phrase the Century Club uses is “small commitment, BIG IMPACT.” The commitment is just four times per year and only $100 per meeting, using the power of numbers to make a larger impact.
The Fishers Century Club will hold its next quarterly meeting to be a celebratory event at a new location and time. It will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 12 at The Club at Crosspoint / Knowledge Services, 9800 Crosspoint Blvd, Fishers. This meeting will include food and beverages.
Club members look forward to continuing their mission of supporting the local community through an innovative and fun approach to charitable giving. A link to directly add the meeting to a calendar can be found at tinyurl.com/Dec12FCCmeeting.
