OPERATION ALPHA
2024
OPERATION ALPHA 2024
Operation Alpha 2024 presented by Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing &
Casino proved to be HVAF’s largest and most extraordinary event yet,
solidifying itself as our largest and most impactful fundraiser to date.
Hosted at the Biltwell Event Center and presented by our first-ever
presenting sponsor, Harrah’s Hoosier Park, this sold-out event brought
together 475 attendees in an incredible show of community unity. The
devastating fire at Manchester Apartments just days prior served as a
stark reminder of the vulnerabilities our veterans face.
Last year, Operation Alpha became more than a fundraiser—it was a
rallying cry, and our community delivered in force. Through
sponsorships, ticket sales, and heartfelt generosity, we raised an
astounding $200,000—a record-breaking achievement that directly
supports displaced veterans and those at risk in Central Indiana.
From the military-inspired Grog Bowl Ceremony to impactful
speeches like those from Army veteran Nicki and her case manager
Cherelle, the night was filled with stirring moments of resilience,
solidarity, and hope. Thanks to the support of 68 generous sponsors
—another record for the event—Operation Alpha broke barriers,
proving yet again the power of collective action.
