Former Super Bowl champion and Indianapolis Colts 2015 Ring of Honor inductee Jeff Saturday will speak at the Interactive Intelligence Foundation fifth annual dinner-auction event designed to raise funds for charities that foster life improvements for at-risk youth.

“The Interactive Intelligence Foundation mission to help at-risk youth supports what I believe in,” Saturday said. “These kids are the future and raising money is critical to the important charities the Foundation serves.”

The “Boots and Bourbon” themed event will be held Saturday, Oct. 17 at 6:30 p.m. at Lucas Oil Estate in Carmel. The evening will include dinner, silent and live auctions, a mechanical bull, bourbon tasting, and entertainment by local modern country band Airstream Betty.

Auction items include Colts tickets, weekend getaway trips, an Apple watch, bourbon packages, an Ed Carpenter autographed racing helmet, golf packages at premier Indianapolis courses, and more.

All proceeds from the event will go to Foundation-supported charities. Locally supported charities include Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, Happy Hollow Children’s Camp, and The Julian Center.

“The Foundation continues to make great strides by funding hands-on science and technology learning programs, college scholarship programs, life-skills camps, food drives for local-area children, and more,” said Interactive Intelligence Foundation president Joe Adams. “This event is a great opportunity to help continue these efforts, while enjoying a fun night of great entertainment, inspiring stories, and the chance to socialize with like-minded community members.”

Tickets are $100 each and can be purchased online, or by calling (317) 715-8414. Dress is casual. Jeans and boots encouraged.
