In Valparaiso, Ivy Tech Community College says its 22nd annual campus Spring Fundraiser is March 13, 2026, at Aberdeen Manor in Valparaiso. Event proceeds help provide financial assistance for students working toward degree completion across the Lake County and Valparaiso/Michigan City campuses. This year event features a 1940s mystery theme, and the Northwest Indiana Mystery Players will take the lead with acting accompanied by local celebrity volunteer actors. This year’s mystery actor lineup includes Stewart McMillan of the McMillan Family Foundation, Chris White of United Way Northwest Indiana, Monica Rubio of Old National Bank, Mary Anne LaHayne of LaHayne Funeral Home; and Chelsea Whittington of CWHITT PR.
“In 2025 our event was a great success and our guests had so much fun. This event is a fantastic way to support local students in pursuit of their studies at Ivy Tech. We hope everyone can join us and bring out their best Ivy Tech smiles. So many of our students depend on the financial assistance we provide, thanks in large part to events like this,” said Executive Director of Resource Development, Cindy Hall. Ivy Tech said tickets are available for purchase at $100.00 and $50.00 of the ticket price is tax-deductible.
