Portrait of Wishes Gala: Bourbon, Bling, and 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, October 2, 2021 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.

The event starts at 6:00 pm, but ticket holders are invited to come early and join us on the Bourbon Trail from 5:30 – 7:00. Relax in our outdoor cigar bar sponsored by Blend Bar.

There are many ways to get involved:

  • Purchase tickets for $150 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.

This accomplishment has been made possible through the generous support from people like you. We can’t wait to see you at the Gala.
