Beyond the Sidelines to benefit Kicking the Stigma

Beyond the Sidelines, a fundraiser benefitting the Colts Kicking the Stigma grants, will raise awareness at a sold-out event Oct. 4 at the Biltwell Event Center.

The fundraiser will benefit the Jim Irsay family and the Indianapolis Colts’ efforts to raise awareness and end the stigma surrounding mental health illnesses.

The event will include a performance by X Ambassadors, an exhibition from the Jim Irsay Collection, a drone light show, appearances by Colts players and interactive games.

The Kicking the Stigma Action Grants support organizations and nonprofits to boost mental health awareness and services. To date, the grants have awarded $6.4 million to more than 60 community organizations.

While the event is sold out, guests can visit kickingthestigma.org to bid on virtual auction items such as autographed Colts memorabilia, experiences with current and former Colts players and coaches and other items. The online auction is open from Sept. 27 at 12 p.m. to Oct. 4 at 10 p.m.

Guests can also visit the website to donate to the Kicking the Stigma Action Grants.
