10 YEARS OF LONG-TERM, LIFE-CHANGING LEGACIES
It’s hard for me to believe that we are entering our TENTH year of Elevate Indianapolis. I am so proud and excited by the life-changing relationships we have built with over 1,300 students.
I want to start by thanking you for your support of Elevate’s mission in our city. Thanks to you, we have been able to open doors for students to discover what’s possible and develop crucial life and character skills for the future.
Over the years, I have seen our students accomplish amazing things, some things they didn’t even know they were capable of, with the love and support of their Elevate family.
Unfortunately, I’ve also seen many of our students face immense obstacles. I still see it today. Circumstances such as the neighborhood they’re born into stand between them and the resources they need to achieve their goals.
This is what Elevate is working to change. We aim to foster healthy relationships with trusted adult mentors that allow them to feel seen, known, heard, and loved. Our mission is to be conduits of hope for our students, equipping them with the tools they need to envision a brighter future for themselves.
We could not create this level of impact without your continued support. Every in-school lesson, every sports & adventure experience, every vision trip, and every college visit is made possible by community partners like you.
Our theme for the 2025-2026 year is “Long-Term, Life-Changing Legacies.” We strive to foster deep, long-term relationships where students feel equipped and empowered to achieve success. These life-changing connections are the key to our mission of helping students realize their limitless potential.

Serving with you,
