>> Carol Howard’s fundraisers have netted more than $40 million for Indianapolis organizations in the last 18 years. Carol’s passion is helping organizations, including the IU Health Foundation, the Indianapolis Zoo and other local nonprofits; raising the funding they need to succeed at their missions. Her events come together seamlessly because she is uniquely able to create fruitful partnerships between businesses, organizations and the volunteers and guests who return to her parties over and over.

Now, she’s putting those skills to use planning Rev, the premiere charity gala that kicks off the month of May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The 3,500-person fundraiser, now in its tenth year, has earned a reputation as the must-attend event of the year in Indianapolis, as well as national media attention in ESPN magazine, NBC’s Kentucky Derby broadcast and Associations Now.
