While we were working to get information to update the IRI website, we gathered some of this records from the IRI scholarships, auction and backpack projects. These are pretty exciting numbers - totalling nearly $80,000 since 2003.
Thank you again to everyone who has donated a backpack or an item for the auction, or purchased one of the items or made a donation for the mentor tournament or to the scholarship fund.
Quote:
■ $38,500 of scholarships have been awarded to 37 students
■ 645 supply-filled backpacks (worth over $19,000) have been donated to needy Indianapolis kids
■ $20,450 has been raised through the silent auction and other events for 8 local charity organizations
