Prevail, a leading non-profit organization dedicated to supporting survivors of crime and abuse on their path to healing, announces the incredible success of its annual Celebration of Hope Gala, held Saturday, Aug. 9 at Embassy Suites in Noblesville.

With a turnout of over 260 passionate community members, the event raised more than $170,000 in support of Prevail’s mission to advocate for victims of crime and abuse throughout Hamilton County and beyond.

This year marked a special milestone for Hare Chevrolet, who returned for the 11th consecutive year as the Gala’s Presenting Sponsor. Prevail extends its deepest gratitude for Hare Chevrolet’s continued partnership and unwavering commitment to supporting survivors and building a safer community.

“At Hare Chevrolet, community is at the heart of everything we do – and for the past 11 years, we’ve been incredibly proud to stand alongside Prevail in their mission to support survivors of crime and abuse,” Hare Chevrolet Commercial Sales Manager Todd Thurston said. “Our partnership goes beyond sponsorship; it’s a shared commitment to safety, empowerment, and hope for individuals and families in our community. We believe in the critical work Prevail does every day, and it’s been an honor to support their programs, events, and advocacy.”

Additional sponsors and partners also played a vital role in the Gala’s success, and Prevail is thankful for the outpouring of generosity from local businesses and individuals who helped make the evening both meaningful and memorable.

“Every contribution raised from the Celebration of Hope Gala directly impacts the lives of survivors,” Prevail Executive Director Tami Wanninger said. “We are truly grateful for the community’s generosity, making it possible to walk along survivors and offering hope in difficult times.”

As Prevail’s largest annual fundraising event, the Celebration of Hope Gala plays a critical role in sustaining the organization’s comprehensive services. Every dollar raised goes directly toward providing free, confidential support to individuals and families impacted by crime and abuse – empowering survivors, educating communities, and advocating for lasting change.
