Honda of Fishers Hosts ICAN’s 20th Anniversary Celebration Kick-Off Event

ZIONSVILLE, INDIANA, March 11, 2022 — Honda of Fishers hosted a kick-off event Friday, March 18, 2022 at 10:30 am to announce their partnership with the Indiana Canine Assistance Network (ICAN) as the Presenting Sponsor of the 20th Anniversary Celebration, PAWS Vegas.

“The Honda of Fishers family is thrilled and humbled to partner with ICAN to help so many in need, and look forward to supporting the incredibly important work of the canines and the entire program,” says the Melzer Family of Honda of Fishers.

PAWS Vegas will be held at the Biltwell Event Center in Indianapolis on Friday, April 29 from 5:30pm to 11:00pm. This family-friendly event will invite you to come, sit, and stay with activities for all ages. Enjoy the Golden Kibble buffet, listen to Nick the Piano Man, and try your luck at carnival games. The evening will also include a wine pull, live karaoke, food, and a special visit from “The Dog Pack”—ICAN’s service dogs in training—and so much more.

All proceeds from this event will help ICAN continue to advocate for independence, properly train, and place service dogs that help people find new perspectives, purpose, and hope.

“This is a wonderful way to kick off our 20th year! The success of ICAN comes from people believing in our mission. We are so grateful the Honda of Fishers family is joining us to unleash hope for others,” adds Jillian Ashton, President of ICAN.

Along with their generous support for the PAWS Vegas event, Honda of Fishers will also sponsor an ICAN assistance canine. Through their support, ICAN will be able to help more Indiana children and adults find independence, break barriers, and overcome challenges.
