The Fishers Century Club announces that Shop For Kids was chosen as the winning charity at their recent meeting held on Tuesday night at the recreation event room at Knowledge Services.
Shop For Kids, a Hamilton County-based 501(c)(3) organization, has been dedicated to raising funds from the community and local businesses for the past 15 years. Their mission enables law enforcement officers to take underprivileged children shopping for Christmas, making a significant difference in the lives of these children.
Dustin Dixon, who attended the meeting along with several other community-minded individuals, was selected to present a charity of choice from a hat. He chose to present Shop For Kids, where he serves as the board chair and is deeply passionate about their mission. During his presentation, Dixon highlighted how officers are paired with children from the community to provide both items they need and an item they want.
“I want to thank the guys who attended and support the Fishers Century Club. Their group of guys use the simple power of numbers to give a charity, like Shop For Kids, unexpected funds,” said Dustin Dixon. “These funds will bless additional kids in our community when officers take them Christmas shopping later this year. I’d encourage guys looking to network and hear about local organizations to come to the next Fishers Century Club.”
The Fishers Century Club will reconvene on September 17th to learn about more local charities and select their next quarterly winner. This upcoming meeting is particularly significant as it will push the Fishers Century Club over the $40,000 mark in giving since its inception in mid-2021. The Club’s goal is to continue growing in attendees, aiming to reach 100 members who each contribute $100 per quarter, thereby making a significant impact of $10,000 at each quarterly meeting.
