Hoosier Heroes Appreciation Day

Honoring our Veterans, Military & First Responders

Our First Responders include, but are not limited to our;
Police, Sheriffs, Firefighters, EMS, Doctors, Nurses, Care Givers

A Day to Show our Appreciation for their Heroic Service
and Commitment to Community and Country.

For 9 Years, the Mayors’ Veterans Appreciation Day has honored our Veterans and our Military with an Appreciation Day event with their families. In 2023 our new format will be held on a Saturday sometime in late September at the White River State Park in downtown Indianapolis. In 2023, our 10th Annual event (after three years off), honoring our Veterans and Military, will also honor Indiana’s First Responders. We are also expanding our reach from just Marion County to all of Central Indiana.

After we secure a date, we will be looking for Volunteers, Vendors, Suppliers, Sponsors, etc. We will need help to pull it all together to produce a great event honoring our Veterans, Military & First Responders, and their families. If you are interested in being on the Organizing Committee for this event, please complete one of our “Sign-Up” forms.
