BLAST could be found Groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon yesterday at the Rathskeller in downtown Indianapolis. For the last few weeks, BLAST has been working closely with Special Olympics of Marion County to plan their inaugural fundraiser, Groovin’ in the Garten. The afternoon was filled with live music, raffles and a silent auction…and did we mention dancing?! The Special Olympics athletes came with their dancing shoes on and certainly gave all of us a few lessons on how to shake your groove thang!

The event raised around $7,000 for Special Olympics of Marion County. The money will be used for uniforms and athletic events for over 1,200 athletes.

BLAST thanks all of the local businesses that generously gave their support, as well as our emcee – Ryan Hupfer.

If you are interested in volunteering for Special Olympics and/or would like to make a donation, please let us know!
