It was perfect night under the stars, Taylor Swift’s biggest hits playing, and an entire community coming together for something that truly matters. If you were there, you already know—it wasn’t just a concert, it was a movement. Northwest Indiana showed up in the best way possible, supporting NWI No Child Hungry and making a real impact in the fight against childhood hunger. The energy? Unreal. The generosity? Overflowing. And if you missed it, don’t worry—this is just the beginning. We’re in this together, and there’s always room for more hearts in the fight.


Setting the Scene

From the moment guests walked in, it was pure Taylor Swift magic. Twinkling lights, bold pops of red and gold, and details straight out of a Swiftie fever dream set the stage for an unforgettable night. And the outfits? Iconic. From sequins to signature Eras-inspired looks, everyone brought their A-game—not just for the aesthetic, but for the cause.


A Night of Music and Meaning

Once the music started, the energy in the room was unreal. Party Foul took the stage, delivering Taylor Swift’s biggest hits with so much heart, you’d think she was there herself. But this night was more than just a concert—it was a movement. Between songs, speakers from NWI No Child Hungry shared stories that hit hard, reminding everyone why they showed up: to make a difference in the fight against childhood hunger.



More Than Just One Night

As the last song faded and the night came to a close, one thing was clear—this wasn’t just an event; it was the start of something bigger. The money raised will help feed kids in our community, but the impact goes beyond dollars. It’s about people coming together, lifting each other up, and proving that kindness always wins. And if this night was any indication, we’re just getting started.
