The Rotary Club of Fishers announces that Mayor Scott Fadness will serve as the Honorary Chair of the 15th annual WaterIsLife Charity Ball, taking place on Friday, Dec. 6 at the Fishers Arts & Municipal Complex.
Presented by the Fishers Rotary Club, the WaterIsLife Charity Ball has become the city’s most anticipated black-tie holiday celebration uniting community leaders, philanthropists, and changemakers in a shared mission to bring clean, life-saving water to communities in Sierra Leone.
This year’s gala marks a milestone in the WaterIsLife initiative, which has now funded over 200 clean water wells, transforming the lives of more than 500,000 people. With Mayor Fadness as Honorary Chair, the 2025 event promises to be the most impactful and inspiring yet.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mayor Fadness as our Honorary Chair,” said Tom Branum, chair of the WaterIsLife Project. “His leadership and commitment to community make him the perfect ambassador for this life-changing cause.”
The evening will begin with the official lighting of the city’s Christmas Tree and Holiday Lights, followed by a festive celebration featuring:
- A gourmet three-course dinner
- Live and silent auctions with exclusive items and experiences
- Holiday music, dancing, and joyful giving
- A spirited atmosphere filled with purpose and generosity
Guests are encouraged to secure tickets early and explore sponsorship opportunities, which include VIP seating, special recognition, and a reception with Mayor Fadness.
As part of a global network of over 1.2 million Rotarians, the Rotary Club of Fishers continues to make a lasting impact both locally and globally from clean water initiatives in West Africa to mental health programs and accessibility projects right here in Fishers.
“Whether it’s your first time attending or your fifteenth, your presence at the WaterIsLife Charity Ball brings hope to others,” said Rich Phelan, the club’s 34th President. “Together, we can continue this life-saving work – one well, one village, one family at a time.”
