Celebration of Champions

CELEBRATION OF CHAMPIONS recognizes 4-H youth competing at the Great Indiana State Fair through a transformative gala with monetary awards that celebrate achievement, scholarship, and hard work.

What better way to close the Fair than by honoring the achievements of youth competing in 4-H livestock, agriculture and other events.

Get Involved

The Celebration of Champions is entirely underwritten by philanthropic support. With oversight from The Indiana State Fair Foundation and the Indiana State Fair Board, a committee will work to secure gifts from potential donors within the state-wide agricultural community. No gifts may be restricted to specific individuals. Unless otherwise specified, all gifts will be restricted to Celebration of Champions in the Youth Development Fund of the Indiana State Fair Foundation.
