INDIANAPOLIS (December 10) – Beacon Credit Union is proud to support the “Ringside for Riley” fundraising event at the Hoosier Beef Congress in Indianapolis. This meaningful initiative was created in 2024 by Cadley Boocher, a young girl whose personal journey at Riley Hospital for Children inspired her to give back to the place that has given her the chance to live a fulfilling life.
Born with a heart condition that required multiple surgeries and extended hospital stays, Cadley’s story continues to inspire families across Indiana. Her mission to support Riley Hospital for Children has grown into an annual event that brings together the community to help children receive the care they need. This year, the 2nd Annual Ringside for Riley event raised more than $15,000, with all proceeds benefiting Riley Hospital for Children and the lifesaving services it provides.
“Giving to Riley’s is very rewarding knowing the funds are helping children recover and given them the opportunity to live the lives they deserve,” said Gus Lukens, Ag Loan Officer.
Beacon Credit Union is honored to play a role in supporting Cadley’s efforts and the mission of Riley Hospital for Children. Together, the community continues to make a lasting impact in the lives of children and families across the state.
