The Mayor’s Grand Gala supports the efforts of our not-for-profit partnerships through the Advancing Westfield Foundation. Together, we ensure sustainable support for the vital services that enhance the lives of those in need. Proceeds from the gala will support the Westfield Youth Assistance Program and other local Westfield non-profit organizations.

The Advancing Westfield Foundation was established to serve as a conduit for the Mayor's initiatives, channeling funds raised from the net proceeds of the Mayor's Grand Gala to nonprofit organizations within our community. Mission Statement: The Advancing Westfield Foundation supports the efforts of our nonprofit partnerships, ensuring sustainable support for a wide range of vital services for our youth, adults, seniors, veterans, and disabled community members. The Advancing Westfield Foundation has applied for 501c(3) nonprofit status.

Chariot Automotive Group in Kokomo has generously donated a two-year lease on a 2025 Cadillac CT5. This will be given away through a reverse raffle. Tickets can only be purchased the night of the event and will be $150.

A reverse raffle is where the usual outcome is flipped from a raffle: instead of drawing tickets to select winners, tickets are drawn to eliminate participants. The last ticket drawn is typically the winner. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how it works: Ticket Purchase: Participants purchase tickets to enter the raffle, just like a traditional raffle. Draw Process: All tickets are placed into a drawing container. Unlike a traditional raffle, in which the first tickets drawn are the winners, in a reverse raffle, tickets are drawn to eliminate participants. Elimination: Tickets are drawn individually, and the participants whose tickets are drawn are eliminated from winning the prize. Final Draw: This continues until only one ticket remains in the drawing container. The holder of this last remaining ticket is declared the winner.
