INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever are getting ready for their first tipoff of the preseason this weekend, and the team is using the moment for fans to help make a life-changing donation to Hoosier families in need.
On Saturday, May 3, the Fever will take on the Mystics after hosting a donation drive where fans are asked to drop off diapers and wipes next to the Morris Bicentennial Plaza from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
The Indiana Diaper Bank is helping host the drive with Pacers Sports & Entertainment.
“We’re inviting fans to bring the same energy they show on game day to help make a difference for families in our community,” said Amber Cox, chief operating officer and general manager for the Fever. “By donating diapers, we have a great opportunity to support caregivers who may be struggling to make ends meet and care for their little ones. Every donation can make a positive impact.”
If you can’t donate at the drive, there are 19 Kroger locations across the Indy area that are collecting through May 3.
A monetary donation can also be made online, where just $1 can buy four diapers. To donate, click here.
“This Mother’s Day season, we’re thrilled to partner with the Indiana Fever in our mission to eliminate diaper need,” said Ashley Burns, CEO of Indiana Diaper Bank. “Packing the Plaza with diapers is a powerful way to show up for moms and caregivers who are working hard to provide for their little ones. With the support of Fever fans, we can provide resources for the one in two families in diaper need in Indiana.”
