Event Sponsorship Opportunities
The Indiana Donor Network Foundation, a 501(c)(3) subsidiary of Indiana Donor Network, was established by family members and friends of organ and tissue donors and recipients who began making memorial and honorary contributions to support our cause. Recognizing the need to effectively steward these generous donations, our governing board created the Foundation to manage and amplify these contributions.
Today, our Foundation proactively raises funds to support transplant recipients, those waiting on a lifesaving transplant and the families of donor heroes through various initiatives, including general contributions and dedicated funds such as the Angel Fund, Bryan Clauson Legacy Fund, Donor Memorial Fund, Scholarship Fund and Threads of Compassion Fund. Each of these funds plays a critical role in providing financial assistance, educational support and emotional comfort to those affected by organ and tissue donation.
Our mission is further advanced through the successful hosting of several key events throughout the year, including:
- Angel Fund Gala: A prestigious evening event that brings together business and healthcare executives, clinicians and community partners to celebrate the lifesaving gift of organ donation and raise funds for the Angel Fund, which allows children related to donor heroes to attend our annual Donor Hero Camp at no cost to their families among other initiatives.
- Fore Life Open: Our annual golf tournament at the coveted Brickyard Crossing, designed to support the Foundation’s mission, where participants enjoy a day on the greens while contributing to critical funds for donor families and transplant recipients.
- Strut 2 Save Lives: A vibrant community event featuring a fun and energetic dog walk, aimed at raising awareness about organ donation, encouraging more people to register as donors and supporting the Bryan Clauson Legacy Fund which provides support for donor families during the donation process.
- Walk to Save Lives: An inspiring event that invites donor families, transplant recipients, living donors and healthcare heroes across the state to walk together in support of organ and tissue donation, with the goal of increasing public awareness and honoring the lives impacted by transplantation, while simultaneously raising funds to support the Foundation’s mission.
Our corporate sponsors are instrumental in the success of these events. Your support would not only assist in covering event costs, but also ensure that we can continue to deliver impactful programs and reach more individuals with our message. By partnering with us, your organization will gain valuable visibility and demonstrate a commitment to a cause that saves and transforms lives.
We offer a range of sponsorship opportunities that come with various advantages, including visibility at our events, exposure through media channels and connections with other community-focused organizations. Your support plays a key role in helping us fulfill our mission and positively impact more lives.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to support a cause that is both impactful and inspiring. We look forward to the possibility of partnering with you to advance our mission and create lasting change in our community.

Strut 2 Save Lives





This dynamic community event is inspired by the legacy of Bryan Clauson, a beloved Indiana native racecar driver, donor hero, brother and son. In 2016, Bryan saved five lives as an organ donor and healed countless others as a tissue donor.

This event is closely tied to Driven 2 Save Lives, an Indiana Donor Network program that uses the excitement of racing to raise awareness and encourage donor registration across the country.
The Bryan Clauson Legacy Fund provides critical support to families affected by organ donation and transplantation. It offers financial assistance for medical expenses, travel and other essential needs, ensuring that families can focus on their loved ones’ donation and their own grief without added stress.
Sponsoring the Strut 2 Save Lives presents a unique opportunity for organizations to align with a meaningful and impactful event. Ideal sponsors include businesses and organizations that are committed to community engagement, health advocacy or belong to the racing community.
