The Fishers Century Club convened for its quarterly meeting on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at The Club Coworking event space, where members heard presentations from three charitable organizations before selecting one to receive the group’s collective donation. This quarter’s recipient was the Indiana School Resource Officers Association (INSROA) Foundation, an organization dedicated to supporting school resource officers (SROs) across the state.
The INSROA Foundation, a newly established nonprofit, focuses on ensuring that Indiana’s SROs receive high-quality, ongoing training without bearing the financial burden themselves. SROs who join INSROA receive access to critical resources and state-of-the-art training opportunities. Membership currently costs $50 annually, which includes enrollment in the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO), while the Indiana School Safety Conference costs an additional $150. The Foundation’s mission is to cover these costs so that every SRO in Indiana can access membership and training programs aimed at improving school safety and fostering positive relationships with students.
“School Resource Officers serve the mission of keeping our students, staff, and communities safe,” said Officer Greg Zimmerman, a Carmel-based SRO and representative of the INSROA Foundation. “We are incredibly grateful to the Fishers Century Club for helping us fund training opportunities that enhance school safety and bring awareness to new technologies and strategies that help protect Indiana’s children every day.”
The INSROA Foundation is also planning to host its inaugural fundraising gala this fall to expand its donor base and increase support for SROs throughout Indiana. Event details will be announced soon.
Fishers Century Club founder Adam Kallick expressed his personal connection to the cause. “Supporting school safety is very close to me,” Kallick said. “In my professional work, one of my clients is the national leader in frictionless gateway weapons detection technology. It is important to provide our schools with the right tools and training to keep students safe. That’s why I’m proud our group is backing the INSROA Foundation and the essential work they’re doing for SROs across Indiana.”
The INSROA Foundation not only aims to relieve the financial strain on SROs but also works to educate communities and school systems about advancements in safety tools, protocols, and equipment. The organization’s goal is to ensure that every SRO has access to continuing education, regardless of district budget constraints.
The Fishers Century Club, a men’s crowd-giving organization, meets quarterly to hear from three charitable organizations and make a collective contribution to one. The group’s next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
