Radio One Indianapolis Raised $14,130 For The Mozel Sanders Foundation

On Thursday night, Radio One Indianapolis hosted a truly inspiring and lively event, “A Toast to Mozel Sanders,” at the Hi-Fi in Indianapolis.

The evening brought the community together for a noble cause raising funds to help feed 10,000 people on Thanksgiving.

With a goal of $10,000 in mind, the event surpassed all expectations, reaching a grand total of $14,130.

The event was sponsored by Jack Daniels, Herradura, Diplomatico Rum, Woodford Reserve and Fords Gin.

Guests were treated to an unforgettable night featuring music, hors d’oeuvres, a selfie stations, a silent auction, and, of course, custom drinks created by the celebrity bartenders.

Eight local celebrities created a one-of-a-kind drink to compete for three coveted awards. The categories included “Most Donations Raised,” “Best Drink” (voted on by Steve Campbell from the Indianapolis Colts, Jimmie McMillian from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, B Swift from Hot100.9 and Sampson Levingston from Walk and Talks), and “People’s Choice,” awarded to the drink most popular at the bar.

The Winner of each award was:

Best Drink – Pedro (Telemundo) – El Duelo

People’s Choice – Karen Vaughn (106.7 WTLC) – Bourbon Bliss

These customized cocktails were a highlight of the evening, with each celebrity bartender not only describing their drinks but adding their personal touch through humor and heartfelt stories about why the Mozel Sanders Foundation holds such importance to the community.

The event was well-paced, starting with a VIP hour from 5:30–6:30 p.m., where guests who purchased tickets were treated to an exclusive mingling session with the celebrity bartenders and sampled the creative cocktails.

The doors then opened for general admission from 6:30–9:30 p.m., allowing more people to join in on the fun and contribute to the cause.

Radio One Indianapolis set out a goal of raising $10,000—and they didn’t just meet it. Celebrity bartenders and attendees pulled together to raise a remarkable $12,630.

To top it off, the General Manager of Radio One Indianapolis generously added an additional $1,500 to the total, bringing the final amount to $14,130.
