Portrait of Wishes Gala: Bourbon, Bling & Bowties

Event Chairs Phil and Judy Gumpert are very excited to invite you to join us for the annual Portrait of Wishes Gala: Bourbon, Bling and Bowties.

Please join us Saturday, September 23, 2023 at the Marriott North, Indianapolis for a fantastic evening of bourbon tasting, a scrumptious meal and silent auction to raise funds that help us grant wishes for Hoosier children with life-threatening illness. The average cost of a wish is $10,000. Your generosity allows us to put smiles on children’s faces and hope in the hearts of their parents, family and friends. Together, we create memories for a lifetime.

EVENING’S EVENTS

5:00 PM:  VIP EARLY ACCESS TO BOURBON TRAIL
6:00 PM:  COCKTAILS, BOURBON TRAIL & SILENT AUCTION
7:00 PM:  DINNER SEATING BEGINS

Relax in our outdoor cigar bar sponsored by Blend Bar.
Sparkle and shine in your favorite cocktail and bowtie attire.

CHECK OUT THIS YEAR’S BOURBON TRAIL VENDORS

• Rabbit Hole
• Jamison
• Woodford Reserve
• Old Forester
• Hotel Tango
• Heaven Hill
• Jim Beam
• High West
• Nelson Brothers’
• Cardinal Spirits
• Log Still Distillery
• Milam & Greene

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GET INVOLVED:

• Purchase tickets for $200 each and come out and enjoy the festivities. Taste the finest bourbon—and maybe a cigar out on the patio—and enjoy a night out.
• Plan to participate in our silent auction and discover a future weekend trip or take home a collection of bourbon to rival the distilleries along Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail.
• Donate an auction item. We are currently seeking bottles of hard-to-find bourbon, restaurant cards, and hotel stays, but we’ll entertain nearly everything for this year’s gala.
• Sponsor the event. There are many levels available to get your company name out and exclusively sponsor the wishes of one to two special Hoosier kids who need a lift–especially after this pandemic.
