Thanks to you, we raised $37,000 at Operation
Alpha!
It keeps getting better and better! In 2018, we were able to raise more than $37,000 at Operation Alpha. The total funds raised increased by $5,000 from 2017's event!
Hotel Tango Artisan Distillery's Founder and CEO Travis Barnes started Operation Alpha in 2014, as a way to raise funds for HVAF's operations, programs, and services.
The evening, at Tinker House Events, was full
of tasty cocktails thanks to Hotel Tango; delicious food from Mimi Blue Meatballs,
Illinois Street Food Emporium, Hoagies & Hops, Black Plate Catering, and Oak Catering; wine from The Wine Group and beer from Sun King Brewery and Upland Brewing Company; live music from Benito Dibartoli & Friends; auction bidding; a cigar veranda courtesy of TCAC- Indy Chapter; and much more.
“I am deeply grateful for the
strong relationship we have with Hotel Tango Artisan Distillery and their Tinker House Events venue,” HVAF President & CEO Brian Copes said. “I am humbled by the generous support of those who sponsored tables, volunteered their time, provided or solicited silent auction items, and donated food, beer, wine, spirits, cigars, and canteen cups (which made the grog an experience).”
