The Villages' Sponsors Hit a Homerun.
Family fun, a stellar "first pitch," children cheering, hotdogs, nachos, cotton candy and a sky filled with stars – all were signs of a GREAT EVENING! On Thursday, July 24, more than 750 of The Villages' children, families, friends and supporters enjoyed a summer evening of baseball and a great view of downtown Indianapolis! The evening kicked off with children's games, family activities and dinner at Victory Field, followed by our Indianapolis Indians' victory over the Charlotte Knights!
Thanks to our sponsors, BKD, LLP; Brightpoint, Inc.; The Care Group, LLC; Aqua Systems; Jones Mortgage Group; Tom and Beth Ann Smith; and other generous businesses, board members and friends of The Villages, we sold more tickets than ever before, giving our Villages' families a treasured summer memory again this year! In addition, we raised over $8,000 to fund additional enrichment activities for The Villages' amazing, resilient children!
A very special thank you goes to each and every one of you who worked so hard to make this "All-American" event happen!

The Faces... The Voices... The Villages.
IN MEMORIAM: The Villages' Video, "The Faces... The Voices... The Villages" is dedicated to the memory of eight-year-old Amber Marie Puttock, who passed away suddenly on December 26th, 2007. Amber was a precious angel, able to light up any room she entered, with her love of life, her inquisitive nature and her heart filled with joy. In honor of Amber's loving adoptive parents Manda and Justin Puttock, her beloved little brother Ryan, and the memory of angelic Amber, we share these stories of The Villages' special children, youth and families.
