Lambda Legal’s Indiana Benefit at the IMA

Lambda Legal’s Indiana Benefit, hosted in Randolph H. Deer Special Events Pavilion Pavillion at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, presented honors to Salesforce and Bill Oesterle, CEO of Angie’s List, for their roles in the fight against discrimination and for their continued community leadership on behalf of LGBT Hoosiers. With over 300 guests in attendance, attendees were presented an inspiring program and festive party featuring cocktails, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and open bar.

Randolph H. Deer Special Events Pavilion Pavillion featured purple uplighting to match the evening’s colors, silver crush linens and floral pieces to bring a simple element of elegance to the evening. Both round tables and cocktail tables were available for guests to sit at while they took their time visiting hors’doeuvre stations and the bar.
