United Way's 100th Birthday at the Races
2025-10-17 18:30 - 20:30 | Harrah’s Hoosier Park, 4500 Dan Patch Circle, Anderson, 46013, United States
Join us on Friday, October 17 at Harrah’s Hoosier Park for a special United Way Night at the Races celebrating Heart of Indiana United Way’s 100th Anniversary! Guests can enjoy steakhouse specials and bar features with a portion of proceeds benefiting United Way, bid on exciting items in the silent auction, and take part in an unforgettable evening of live racing. The highlight of the night will be the 5th Race—The United Way Centennial Dash, honoring a century of community impact. It’s a chance to cheer, give back, and celebrate 100 years of neighbors helping neighbors, while supporting the work that will drive the next century of change.

Imagination Jams: Musical Bingo for Books
2025-11-19 18:00 - 20:00 | Henry County Lightkeepers, 2600 C Ave, New Castle, IN, 47362, United States
Join us for an exciting evening where music meets philanthropy to support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in the Heart of Indiana! Every child deserves the joy of books, and this event helps provide free books to children every month, fostering a love of reading from the very start.
For $31.20, a child in our five-county region can receive a new book each month for a year through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
The State of Indiana previously covered half the cost, with Heart of Indiana United Way funding the rest. While DPIL was removed from the state’s last budget, a public/private partnership initiative led by Indiana’s First Lady has extended that match through the end of 2026. This effort has been vital to keeping books coming to children across the state. However, funding beyond 2026 remains uncertain—and even with the current match, local organizations like ours must continue to raise substantial funds each year to meet our share of the cost as enrollment grows.
How it worksForget traditional bingo-this is bingo with a beat! Instead of calling out numbers, we’ll play clips of hit songs from different genres. Mark the correct song titles and artists on your bingo card, and you could win prizes!
