INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 25 — Attendees of the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) trade show and the general public can support two important charities while having a great time by attending the "Evening of Giving" Benefit Presented by KECO Coatings on Thursday, Dec. 12 at Bartini's nightclub in Union Station, 39 W. Jackson Place, Indianapolis.
The benefit, which includes live music and a live auction, will start at 6:30 p.m. and run until 10 p.m. The event will raise money for the Indiana Children's Wish Fund and Racing for Corey, which are both 501(c)3 not-for-profit organizations.
It will feature live music by the Souled Out Band, which is recognized as one of the best dance, party and variety bands in the Midwest. Its four lead singers and seven other musicians, including an energetic horn section, perform a wide variety of music.
A live auction featuring a limited number of special items, several of which are related to motorsports, will also be on tap. Some of the auction items confirmed at press time include an Urban 49 cc scooter; the opportunity for two people to be a crewmember for a day with Sam Schmidt Motorsports; an IndyCar Experience two-seater ride around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and a "Play and Stay" vacation for two to Tucson, Ariz., including four nights of accommodations and three rounds of golf. Music fans will also get the chance to bid on a guitar autographed by Jimmy Buffet and another one autographed by a rock band such as the Eagles, the Rolling Stones or Aerosmith.
Appetizers will be complimentary and a cash bar will be available. The event is open only to adults 21 and older.
General admission tickets cost $60 each and include two drink tickets. Attendees are encouraged to purchase them in advance by calling (520) 906-8106 or e-mailing
