FORTUNE ACADEMY CELEBRATION GALA
The 23rd Annual Fortune Academy Celebration Gala brought together more than 200 supporters for an inspiring evening at the Embassy Suites in Noblesville. Guests enjoyed a silent and live auction, bourbon pull, heads or tails game, raffle ticket drawing, and live music. A highlight of the evening was a heartfelt speech by Fortune Academy alumnus Evan Porterfield, who shared how the school transformed his educational journey into post-secondary education success. Guests included representatives from valued sponsors and members of the Fortune Academy Board of Trustees. The gala raised over $120,000 to benefit Fortune Academy, the only Orton-Gillingham accredited academy in the state of Indiana that specializes in serving students with learning differences such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, and other language-based challenges. 9 8
