Join Us for the 2026 Annual Trails Celebration Charity Luncheon

Celebrate Indiana’s trails and help transform communities at the 2026 Annual Trails Celebration Charity Luncheon! This special event brings together trail enthusiasts, community leaders, and supporters from across the state to connect, learn, and make a tangible impact.

By attending, you directly support TrailReady Indiana, a statewide program that helps rural and underserved communities develop professional trail master plans. These plans are essential for attracting new residents and businesses, improving quality of life, and securing state and federal infrastructure funding. Trails also drive local economic growth, boost tourism, and support small businesses, creating long-term benefits for communities across Indiana.

Your participation will also help promote community health and well-being. Trails increase physical activity, reduce chronic disease risk, and support mental health by expanding access to safe, high-quality outdoor spaces. Proceeds from the luncheon strengthen statewide trail grantmaking, which has already provided more than $250,000 to help communities build, maintain, and improve their trail systems.

In addition, the event supports environmental sustainability and professional trail development. Trails protect natural resources, improve land and water quality, and enhance climate resilience. Revenue from the luncheon also supports the annual Trails Gathering, Indiana’s professional conference for trail planners and advocates, ensuring communities have the expertise needed to build resilient, future-ready trail systems.

Finally, your registration helps cover essential operational and capacity-building needs, allowing us to expand our statewide impact and direct more resources toward programs that support communities.

Register today to be part of this inspiring event and help create a healthier, more connected, and resilient Indiana. Together, we can strengthen trails, empower communities, and make a lasting difference across the state.
