CREA FOUNDATION UPDATES & MILESTONES Entering its second year of operation, CREA Foundation held an Induction Ceremony at IUPUI on August 22nd to gather and celebrate the inaugural class of 10 CREA Scholars and wish them a successful first year. CREA Foundation is proud to provide scholarship funds and wraparound services to these enthusiastic young adults residing in our affordable housing properties and other low-income communities to attend college, overcome barriers to success, and create opportunities to further their learning and development. Following the CREA Scholars Induction Ceremony, CREA Foundation hosted the CREA Foundation Scholarship Golf Classic on September 27th at the Brickyard Crossing Golf Club in Indianapolis, supported by more than 22 partners. This event raised over $100,000 to help our next class of CREA Scholars cross the finish line. In addition, CREA Foundation is eager to continue its mission with the goal to add another partnership with a southern California university and is looking forward to hosting another golf outing in that area during 2023. The Foundation continues to make exciting efforts towards its mission. None of the aforementioned events and milestones would be possible without the support of our trusted donor partners.
