Vincennes University to host 4th Annual Blazers Give Day: A 24-hour giving event

0

VINCENNES, Ind., March 28, 2024 – Vincennes University is gearing up for its fourth annual Blazers Give Day, a 24-hour giving event on Thursday, April 4, celebrating the vibrant spirit of the Trailblazer community.

 

The yearly event unites VU alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and friends from all over the world with the confidence of collectively making a lasting impact that carries forward every day.

 

The “One Day That Makes A Difference Every Day at midnight (EDT) on April 4 and runs until 11:59 p.m. (EDT).

 

In 2023, more than 120 new donors joined Blazers Give Day, and there’s hope to exceed that goal in 2024.

 

Throughout the day, the Vincennes University Foundation will host Facebook Live events and engage in additional social media activities to rally support and raise awareness for the giving event. Supporters are invited to sign up to be a Blazers Give Ambassador, helping to promote the event by sharing content on social media and encouraging others to follow using the hashtag #BLAZERSGIVE.

 

The Blazers Give Fund, an unrestricted fund, allows the University to allocate resources where they are needed most. Last year, the Foundation supported an additional $190,000 in housing scholarships thanks to Blazers Give Day. With the continued support of VU alumni, friends, and partners, the Foundation aims to increase its scholarship awards, which have already reached $1.2 million this academic year. The Foundation also has funds for faculty development, academic programs, student services, athletics, and capital projects.

 

According to Executive Director of VU Foundation and Senior Director of Institutional Advancement Kristi Deetz, “Blazers Give Day is a time to celebrate the many ways the Trailblazer community comes together in a spirit of giving. Our alumni, friends, partners, and colleagues give their time, share their talents, and provide financial support so students can pursue their goals and dreams as well as experience academic excellence in their chosen majors. Together, we make Vincennes University stronger every day.”

 

In addition to individual contributions, several local businesses will support Blazers Give Day with various initiatives. Texas Roadhouse will kick off the event with a Dine and Donate on the evening of April 3. On April 4, businesses including, Pea-Fections, GlennO’s Corner Cafe, Kelso’s 19th Hole, Cafe Moonlight, Frank’s, Impressed Coffee, Jenna’s Bakehouse, St. Benedict’s Brew Works, Zip and Sip, and Byron Bobe’s Pizza House will participate in fundraising efforts. Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom will hold a dine-to-donate event and host an alumni gathering from 5-8:30 p.m. (EDT).

 

Blazers Give Day is the perfect opportunity to make a lasting impact. Join VU now and take active steps to contribute in various ways and help the University make a difference every day.

(INDIANAPOLIS) The Indiana Arts Commission announced today that short films profiling each of the 2023 Governor’s Arts Award recipients have been released and are available for viewing. The films premiered at the 2023 Governor’s Arts Awards Statehouse Celebration on Tuesday, February 27th.  

 

The 2023 Governor’s Arts Award films were directed and produced by William Bryant Rozier of Scrambled Eggs LLC. Zachary Vessels of TopSphere Media served as Director of Photography and the main editor of the films. The Fort Wayne-based team was selected for the project following a solicitation of Statements of Qualification from the Indiana Arts Commission.  

Originally presented in 1973, the Governor’s Arts Awards recognize outstanding achievement and contributions to arts and creativity in Indiana. Presented biennially, the awards are the highest honor the state gives in the arts and recognize those who maximize their roles as innovators, supporters, and advocates to grow arts and creativity on the state or national level.

“Art is so critical to the very fabric of who we are, and foundational to who we can in part become,” said Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb. “The arts community itself provides so much extra value in regards to our state’s attractiveness. I’m both so encouraged and inspired by the stories of our remarkable artists who continue to express the Hoosier story in so many different and unique ways.”

The 2023 recipients are Bryan Ballinger (Huntington), Christy Burgess (South Bend), D. Del Reverda-Jennings (Indianapolis), Jim Smoak (Pekin), and Shaun Dingwerth and the Richmond Art Museum (Richmond). You can learn more about each of the recipients in their video profiles or on the Governor’s Arts Awards webpage.  

 

Each award cycle, a Hoosier artist is commissioned to create the awards. The 2023 award artist was Emily Bennett, fiber artist from Terre Haute. Bennett was also profiled in the films. 

 

“We were thrilled to partner with the Office of the Governor to recognize the incredible award recipients and are so excited to share the videos that capture the talent, spirit, and drive of each individual,” said Miah Michaelsen, Executive Director of the Indiana Arts Commission. “Bryant and Zachary did a fantastic job of capturing the power of Hoosier creativity and the impact that individuals can have to make our state a stronger, more connected place.” 

 

The 2023 Governor’s Arts Award films can be viewed on the Indiana Arts Commission’s YouTube page. A playlist contains each of the seven films.  

 

OLD NATIONAL EVENTS PLAZA EMBRACES CASHLESS FUTURE

0

Evansville, IN – March 28, 2024 – In a move to enhance efficiency, safety, and convenience, Old National Events Plaza announces its transition to a cashless payment system, effective April 1, 2024. This strategic solution reflects a commitment to remaining innovative and providing a seamless experience for all patrons.

“We are excited to announce our transition to a fully cashless venue,” said Nick Wallace, General Manager at Old National Events Plaza. “Going cashless not only aligns with consumer preferences but reinforces our responsibility to provide a safe and efficient environment for all visitors. The decision strengthens our dedication to delivering exceptional experiences.”

The benefits of a cashless system extend beyond streamlining operations. Patrons will enjoy faster transaction times, less wait time, and greater flexibility in payment methods. Each touchpoint in the customer’s journey from purchasing tickets to indulging in culinary services will require a cashless payment device. The venue accepts all major digital forms of payment, including debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and tap services.

Old National Events Plaza will provide support to assist patrons throughout the implementation process in the coming months. Signage will notify guests of the cashless policy and onsite staff will be readily available to guide visitors through payment procedures and address any questions or concerns.
