In 2007, parents Troy and Jennifer Carolan were at their 20-week  appointment at St.Vincent Carmel Hospital when they discovered their second baby, Jolie, would be born with congenital scoliosis, a rare condition consisting of an extra vertebra in the spine. In addition, Jolie suffered multiple Ventricular Septal Defects, commonly known as holes in the heart, kidney reflux and a pelvic kidney.

At the time of Jolie’s birth, Jennifer Carolan worked at Reindeer Auto Relocation in Zionsville. The company, whose CEO is Tim Donnar, historically selected a charity each year to support during the Christmas season. In 2008, in support of the Carolan family, Reindeer Auto Relocation decided to throw a Christmas party for patient families at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent. Since then, the relationship between the auto relocating company and the faith-based children’s hospital has grown.

Reindeer Auto Relocation hosts several themed parties each year for families whose children are hospitalized at the children’s hospital. In addition, the Donnar family organizes an annual fundraising event, The Donnar Memorial Golf Outing, which has supported various programs and initiatives at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at St.Vincent since 2008. Reindeer Auto Relocation has raised more than $175,000 for the children’s hospital since 2008 through its charity organization, Donnar Memorial Inc.

Funds from the 2013 and 2014 Donnar Memorial Golf Outing went to the creation of a reindeer-themed pediatric hospital room. The theme is the result of the six-year relationship, commemorating the first Christmas party that was thrown in honor of Jolie and a play on the “Reindeer Auto” and “Donnar” names.
