What a weekend! ☀️ Huge thank you to everyone who came out, grabbed some merch, and hung out with us! Here’s a quick look back at everything we got up to:

We started off at Hickory Hall Polo Club cheering on the matches and supporting the incredible work Joy’s House does for local families. Then, on Saturday morning, we popped up with Stonewall Sports at Chuck Klein Sports Complex for an awesome day of NBTW softball and then headed over to Kuntz Stadium to cheer on our Circle City Tempests and witness their AMAZING win. Lastly, on Sunday, we wrapped things up at Shapiro’s Deli, getting game-day ready before the Colts kickoff.

Thank you again for showing out!
