Friends of Riley (FOR) consists of a diverse network of young professionals that are committed to supporting the Child Life Program at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, IN.

Friends of Riley serves as a bridge between Riley at IU Health and an expansive Indiana professional community. Our unique organization works to raise both awareness and resources for the Child Life Program at Riley. Through our efforts, members of Friends of Riley work to continuously build, nurture and grow new and/or existing affinities for the children at Riley Hospital.

RISE for Riley is FOR's annual gala and main fundraising source used to raise funds for the amazing Child Life Specialists at Riley Hospital.

And we need YOUR help! Whether you are an individual looking to donate to a great cause or a corporate partner looking to support a life changing organization, there are numerous ways to get involved!

RISE Sponsorship: Friends of Riley is searching for individuals or corporations interested in sponsoring the upcoming RISE Gala! With four sponsorship levels - Partner ($500), Gift ($1,000), Exhibit ($2,500), and Red Carpet ($5,000) - there are a variety of options to choose from depending on what works best for you! Each event sponsor will receive a set number of tickets to the Gala (the number depends on the sponsorship level - see below) and will be recognized in marketing materials prior to and during the event.

Personal Donation: If you're interested in contributing but don't want to get involved at a sponsorship level, this option is for you! We welcome any amount donated to the FOR cause. Please use link attached to this page to make a personal contribution of any dollar amount to the organization. If you would like, you will have the chance to specify what you would like your donation used for!

Bottle Pull Donation/Sponsor: One of the main attractions of the RISE Gala is the Bottle Pull event where attendees purchase a ticket in exchange for the chance to blindly pull a wine cork that correlates with a particular bottle of liquor or wine. To make this event a success, the FOR Board is looking for either monetary sponsors or physical liquor or wine donations with a value of at least $35 or higher. Monetary donations can be made through this page and for physical donations, contact friendsofriley@gmail.com and a board member will contact you!!

Silent Auction Donation/Sponsor: The FOR Board is looking for Silent Auction donations to be Auctioned off at the upcoming RISE Gala! No donation is too large or too small and every donor will be recognized both prior to and during the event so this is a great way to get your name in front of 300+ young professionals while also supporting a great cause!
