Spotlight

About us

For more than 25 years, the Indianapolis performing arts community has come together for Deborah J. Simon Spotlight, a night of song, dance, drama and theater to raise money for The Indiana AIDS Fund, a fundraising program of The Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis. The Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis is the largest private funder of HIV/AIDS programs in Indiana, and Spotlight is the largest HIV prevention arts fundraiser in the Midwest.

Serving for
25
years

To date, the Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis has provided more than $30 million to more than 75 partner organizations throughout Indiana through the Indiana AIDS Fund. The Fund has been recognized for funding cutting-edge treatment as prevention and testing programs that otherwise would not have received support from other sources.
