Sponsors and Partners

Thank you for standing with us.

The companies, families, and friends who sponsor our events and partner with our programs.

Sponsors and partners are how Village of Merici has turned one event into a year of programming.

In 2025, our community supported 150 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, delivered 51,938 one-on-one direct support hours, drove 98,199 miles in support of the People we support, and offered 94 affordable housing units across Lawrence and Carmel. None of those numbers happen without the people on this page.
