The Garden's 1st Quarter 2024 Big Give Recipient

This Sunday at The Garden, we welcome friends from our first quarter Big Give recipient, Best Buddies Indiana. Best Buddies International represents a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This weekend, we will have an opportunity to meet and engage with some of the artists who have donated the art work that has been on display in our hallway in support of Best Buddies. Join us Sunday for a special day of Celebration and to learn more about our local Best Buddies Chapter.
