On September 24th, Hotel Carmichael is hosting the Somm Smackdown, and 100 percent of the funds will go to support the Carmel first responders who showed up when the community needed them most. It's a chance to enjoy a genuinely fun evening while giving back to the people who gave so much during the crisis.

We wanted to share it with our community because it's exactly the kind of cause the Indianapolis automotive world tends to rally around. The generosity we see at events like Driven to Give is the same generosity these first responders earned the hard way, and this is a direct, meaningful way to say thank you.

One thing to know: seating is limited, and this one will sell out. If you're inclined to go, and to support a cause that hits close to home for anyone who was here during the flooding, don't wait to register.

The people who took care of Carmel deserve to have Carmel take care of them. Here's your chance to be part of that.
