The four designated beneficiaries of this year’s Mayor’s Charity Ball Mayor were presented checks by Mayor John Ditslear last week. Each beneficiary received $10,000.

“This year’s event was not only a lot of fun, but most importantly it helped to make a difference for local non-profits,” said Ditslear. “We are thrilled to have helped Agapé Therapeutic Riding Resources, Indiana Autism Scholarship Foundation, the Noblesville Firefighters Christmas Food and Toy Drive and Special Olympics of Hamilton County.”

Ditslear hosted the 2012 Noblesville Mayor’s Charity Ball Aug. 3 at Harbour Trees Beach Club, 100 Clarendon Dr., Noblesville. This year’s theme was “Cruise with the Captain” and guests were invited to come dressed in casual resort wear. The evening included dinner, dancing to the music of Jayne Bond and the Pink Martinis, and live and silent auctions.

The nonprofit organization behind the Mayor’s Ball is Helping Hands, Inc. Its mission is to educate the public, relieve and assist poor and distressed families and children, and distribute funds or provide grants to charitable organizations. Helping Hands, Inc. also regularly donates to organizations such as Prevail, Promising Futures, and the Red Stocking Fund.
