The Hamilton Southeastern Education Foundation (HSEF) hosted its 12^th annual Game Day, on Friday, February 23rd at 6:30 pm at Hub & Spoke in Fishers. Proceeds from the event help support innovative teacher grants, student scholarships, mental health, and wellness initiatives across all grade levels in Hamilton Southeastern Schools.

Game Day has become a signature event in Fishers, as the largest annual HSEF fundraiser benefitting all 22 Hamilton Southeastern schools and attracting a sellout crowd.

Event attendees enjoyed tailgate themed games, delicious game day food and drinks, festive music, and the annual district-wide Pop-A-Shot contest. The event also featured our amazing Game Day silent auction, a way for the entire community to support local schools. This auction featured hundreds of unique items and experiences, including baskets from each of HSE’s 22 schools and PTOs PLUS 31 sports and school experiences for kids this year!
