Join us for a special evening with Mitch Daniels in support of Grace Care Center.

This intimate event brings together community leaders and supporters who care about practical solutions to hunger and poverty in Central Indiana.

Your ticket or sponsorship includes dinner, a copy of Daniels' brand new book, Impatience Is a Virtue, and meaningful conversation about leadership, innovation, and creating lasting change.

More importantly, your seat helps provide a week of food and care for a local family in need.

Together, we aim to raise $250,000 at this event to support Grace Care Center’s impact in Central Indiana around food security, stability, and pathways to financial independence for families across our community.

Sponsorship opportunities are available. Click here to learn more.

(Limit 2 tickets per household. Seating is limited to ensure an intimate experience with our guests and supporters.)

This isn’t just another event.

It’s an invitation-only opportunity to come alongside something extraordinary—where every seat makes a difference, and every guest is part of a greater legacy.

There are fewer than 100 spots available. And…you’ll enjoy:

  • Mitch Daniels, live and personal

  • A delicious spread of heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages inspired by classic tailgate favorites

  • A rare, intimate evening at Boiler Ranch - a not-for-profit venue built for moments that matter

  • Stories of life change from the heart of Grace Care Center

  • A bold vision - and your chance to be part of it
