The Interactive Intelligence Foundation is hosting its first dinner and auction gala to raise funds for charities that help improve the lives of at-risk youth on Saturday, Sept. 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the JW Marriott Hotel in Indianapolis.


All proceeds from the auction will go to the Foundation’s core 2011 charity recipients – The Julian Center, Save the Children, and FIRST.

The event will feature live and silent auctions offering donated items such as a luxury Vegas excursion, a weekend getaway for two to Amelia Island, David Yurman jewelry from Reis Nichols, a Sugarland-autographed guitar, a Caribbean cruise, a Utah ski vacation, a private party for up to 25 people at The Rathskeller, golf outings, autographed sports memorabilia, and much more.

“Our dinner and auction gala is the Foundation’s first annual major fundraising event, so we’re especially eager to make it a success by bringing awareness to the critical issues faced by at-risk youth,” said Interactive Intelligence Foundation chairman, Dr. Donald E. Brown, in a news release. “The evening promises great entertainment, a chance to socialize with like-minded community leaders from local government, education, and technology firms, and most importantly the opportunity to contribute to a cause that directly impacts our future.”

The Interactive Intelligence Foundation’s dinner and auction gala will include a three-course meal and music from Fingertrip. It will also include presentations from The Julian Center, Save the Children, and FIRST. Interactive Intelligence founder and CEO, Dr. Brown, will give opening remarks.
