Heritage Fund Announces 2024 Love Where You Live Campaign & Event
Heritage Fund invites you to come Love Where You Live and spend a fun-filled fall afternoon downtown. The all-ages Love Where You Live event on October 5th will feature free activities celebrating the community foundation’s commitment to building a better community. It will also provide an opportunity for the public to learn about the impact of Heritage Fund’s work and how their support can make a difference.
The fun kicks off at 2:00 p.m. with activities and demonstrations planned throughout downtown. Special events include a Concert on the Library Plaza featuring Miss Americanas, A Taylor Swift Tribute Band at 4:00 p.m., and the return of the Rock The Block Dance Party beginning at 6:30 p.m. under InterOculus at Washington and Fourth streets. Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the day, including a signature LWYL brew from Hog Molly. Limited edition LWYL merchandise featuring this year’s design by local artist Annie Shields will be available with a donation to the LWYL Campaign.
The day’s schedule also includes:
- Youth Activities
- Food Trucks
- Community Table and auction of picnic tables featuring local artwork
- Artist Demonstrations
- Live Mural Creation of the LWYL design by Annie Shields
“We are looking forward to celebrating Love Where You Live in downtown Columbus,” said Kristin Munn, Heritage Fund’s Vice President of Operations and Development. “We hope members of the community will join us for music, dancing, and lots of fun.”
The inaugural LWYL event coincides with the sixth annual LWYL Campaign in support of Heritage Fund’s Community Fund. These unrestricted dollars facilitate targeted grantmaking for projects and programs in Heritage Fund’s Impact Areas of Arts, Culture, and Architecture, Youth Development, and Downtown Vitality. Heritage Fund annually awards more than $800,000 in grants from the Community Fund to local nonprofits. Support of LWYL builds the Community Fund and, in turn, enables Heritage Fund to build a better Bartholomew County.
“In addition to celebrating with us, we hope friends will learn more about the work we do at Heritage Fund and be inspired to support this year’s campaign,” Munn added.
