Heart of Cedar Lake Awards Ceremony
The Heart of Cedar Lake Awards brought together more than 300 community members for a powerful morning of connection and celebration raising more than $130,000 in support of our mission. Emceed by Jennifer Baileys, a four-time Emmy Award–winning reporter from WLKY, the event highlighted the extraordinary individuals and organizations whose compassion and commitment are making a meaningful difference in the lives of those supported by Cedar Lake.
The success of this year’s Heart of Cedar Lake Awards is a testament to the power of community and shared purpose. The funds raised will directly support Cedar Lake’s mission of providing abundant possibilities and unconditional love to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
There is still an opportunity to make an impact. Your continued support helps ensure that Cedar Lake can expand its reach, meet growing needs, and create a future where every individual is valued and supported. Donate today and be a part of continuing this important mission.
