Scenes from the Indy 500 Rev Indy party
Rev Chairs Tony and Lauren Kanaan |
The drivers are in town and getting ready for the Indy 500 later this month.
But Saturday night at IMS, it was all about food, fun and philanthropy.
Thousands of people enjoyed Rev Indy, a party at the Speedway that included a great lineup of local musical talent along with celebrity chefs.
The event raises money for the IU Health Foundation, which covers care for the drivers and fans at the track.
Tony Kanaan, who won the Indy 500 in 2013, and his wife Lauren served as honorary chair for the event.
"We raised over $3 million in the past few years for the foundation. They saved a lot of our friends' lives in here at this race track and we feel like it's a great event," he said. "It fits the city, fits the 500. We used to talk about Opening Day and I think this is our Opening Day."
