Hoosiers for Good
Through our partnership with Hoosiers for Good, Young & Established is expanding the possibilities for empowering youth and strengthening community bonds. Established in 2022, Hoosiers for Good brings Indiana charities together with student athletes who use their platforms to make a difference. Thanks to this collaboration, we had the incredible opportunity to take a group of students to experience an IU football game—a day they won’t soon forget, and one we hope to recreate! IU athletes also made the journey to Evansville to support our Granddaddy’s Garden Spot project, offering hands-on help to bring this vision to life. Hoosiers for Good is committed to continuing its support of Y&E’s mission, helping us inspire and uplift our community in powerful new ways.
