INDIANAPOLIS – October 19, 2009 The Indiana State Museum Foundation and the United Way of Central Indiana will benefit from funds raised by ProLiance Energy during events at the museum and the theatre that took place on October 14.

 

ProLiance Energy, an Indianapolis-based natural gas marketing company, invited numerous business and community partners to the event, which began with a reception at the Indiana State Museum. The reception featured artifacts from the Lincoln Financial Foundation Collection. A silent auction at the event raised funds for the Indiana State Museum Foundation.

 

Later, all attended a special performance of The Heavens Are Hung in Black, playwright James Still’s work about Abraham Lincoln now showing at the Indiana Repertory Theatre. Sponsorships from ProLiance business partners and contributions to “Keep the Heat On” will be donated to the United Way of Central Indiana’s Agency Energy Assistance Fund to help soften the blow on United Way agency budgets when utility costs rise.

 

According to ProLiance President John Talley, “We are very pleased to continue our partnership with the United Way of Central Indiana to help meet critical community needs at a time when many of our fellow citizens are struggling through a tough economy. And we are proud to support both the Indiana State Museum and the Indiana Repertory Theatre, two of Indiana’s cultural landmarks.” 

 

Since 2005, ProLiance Energy has raised more than $250,000 for the United Way of Central Indiana’s Agency Energy Assistance Fund through “Keep the Heat On” to help agencies during times of rising utility rates.
