Godparents are the backbone of our organization. They are the precious volunteers whom have chosen to make a personal commitment to St. Mary's Child Center. Our godparents improve the lives of our children by spending time with them in the classrooms, attending events and providing much needed funding.
When St. Mary's Child Center was initially founded, prominent members of the community stepped forward to assist the St. Mary's Child Center with funding. In order to continue to serve at-risk children in the Indianapolis community, the center needed to involve more of the community. The founding community members understood this and created an organization to facilitate communication and collaboration between existing members. In addition, the organization's mission was to ensure that the Child Center's message and importance reached the ears and eyes of the community. As a result, the Godparents program was formed to allow others to participate in making a difference in young lives. The program set up fundraising events such as the annual auction, the raffle, the golf outing, and the Miracle Ball, a black-tie event. Godparents could commit at least $2,000 per year and gift it through participating in these events.
Today, over 160 Godparents are supporting approximately 208 children being treated by the best professionals in the nation.
Joining this outstanding group of individuals is simple. The Godparent financial commitment is $2,000 annually. You can either donate directly or raise the money. This can be done through participation at our events. Our events are: the Auction, the Raffle, the Golf Outing and the Miracle Ball. You may participate in one or any combination you choose, to fulfill your commitment. Simply fill out the registration form in the brochure found below and send it in. We look forward to having you!
