Mayor’s Grand Gala returns to support Westfield nonprofits

Westfield, IN (February 27, 2026) — The City of Westfield will host the second annual Mayor’s Grand Gala, presented by Card and Associates and Keystone Group, on Friday, May 1, at Westwood Vowery and Estate (18342 Spring Mill Road). The event will take place from 6 to 9 p.m.

The Mayor’s Grand Gala is an evening centered on community, generosity, and support for local nonprofit partners. The event will feature a plated dinner, entertainment from a DJ, silent and live auctions, and interactive experiences throughout the event. In a nod to Indiana’s iconic “Month of May”, guests can also take part in on-site race simulators for a fun and memorable addition to the evening.

“Westfield’s nonprofits are essential to the health and strength of our community,” Mayor Scott Willis said. “They provide support, services and hope to residents in ways that often happen quietly and behind the scenes. This event is about coming together to support their missions and ensure they can continue serving those who need them most.”

The evening will also feature a reverse raffle for a chance to win a 2026 Cadillac XT5 through a two-year lease, generously donated by Chariot Automotive Group in Kokomo. The donation is especially meaningful because the company’s owner, Rex Gingerich, is a Westfield resident and supporter of the community.

Proceeds from the Mayor’s Grand Gala support nonprofit partnerships through the Advancing Westfield Foundation. Funds raised in previous years have supported CICOA, Heart and Soul Free Clinic and Westfield Youth Assistance Program.

Grant applications for 2026 funding will open June 1 and close June 30. Applications will be coordinated through the Hamilton County Community Foundation. Additional information, including how to apply, will be released closer to the application date.

Tickets for the Mayor’s Grand Gala start at $200, and only a limited number remain. To purchase tickets or learn more about sponsorship opportunities, visit westfieldgrandgala.com.
