Girls Inc. of Greater Indianapolis (Girls Inc. Indy) announced today that its TogetHER Luncheon, presented by Audiochuck, raised more than $140,000  to support initiatives and programs that uplift, support, and champion the opportunities and potential of girls in all walks of life in Indianapolis and the surrounding area. Now in its fourth year, the event drew more than 200 community members and corporate sponsors including host sponsors Commission Row, Cunningham Restaurant Group, and The Simon Family. Brit Prawat of Audiochuck and Girls Inc. Indy participant Sophia A. served as luncheon co-chairs. 

The luncheon drew inspiration from the format of a podcast episode, reflecting Audiochuck’s renowned leadership and experience  in the podcast industry and its growing partnership with Girls Inc. Indy. Throughout the event,  guests heard moving stories of girls in our community and learned about the opportunities their support will create for education, mentorship, and leadership. 

“Girls already have powerful voices and stories to share. Our job is to provide them with platforms to share those voices,” said Lindsay Gramlich, President and CEO of Girls Inc. Indy. “Through our partnership with Audiochuck, we’re creating new opportunities for girls to tell their stories, build confidence, and grow as leaders.”

Audiochuck’s generous support of Girls Inc. Indy goes beyond the TogetHER event. In addition to serving as presenting sponsor, the organization is currently leading the addition of a podcast studio in the Girls Inc. Indy office. The Girls Inc. Indy program, the Leadership Lounge, will use the studio to learn about podcasting, the art of storytelling, and using their voices to be advocates in their communities. There are currently 11 girls in the program, who will lead the planning, storytelling, interviewing, editing, and production of the podcast through mentorship with Audiochuck professionals. 

In addition to Audiochuck, Commission Row, Cunningham Restaurant Group, and The Simon Family, this event was made possible by generous corporate, foundation, and community sponsors whose support ensures that all funds raised during the event will directly benefit research-based and evidence-informed programs that inspire girls to be strong, smart, and bold.
