Education Celebration
School on Wheels’ annual Education Celebration raises over $250,000 to provide tutoring and academic services to children impacted by homelessness. Becoming a sponsor creates visibility for your organization, supports School on Wheels, and aligns your organization with a non-profit positively shifting the trajectory of Indianapolis children and families impacted by homelessness. This exclusive event positions your organization before 400 attendees and includes a cocktail reception, dinner, guest speaker, and a fundraising auction with one-of-a-kind packages. Learn more about sponsor benefits at all levels by downloading our 2020 Education Celebration sponsor packet or contacting Amber Ewing Kostoff, Vice President of Development.
Tuba Player, Dr. Richard White knows all about overcoming potential life threatening and life altering obstacles that stifle individual evolution and development. Dr. White experienced homelessness for several years as a young child.
He began his tuba studies with Ed Goldstein at age twelve at The Baltimore School for the Performing Arts, where he graduated with honors. He then went to the Peabody Conservatory of Music to study with David Fedderly (Principal Tubist, Baltimore Symphony) where he received his Bachelor’s degree. On the advice of Mr. Fedderly, Richard traveled to Indiana University to study with the legendary Professor Daniel Perantoni. He continued his studies there receiving both his Master’s and Doctoral degrees.
Richard Antoine White, also known as RawTuba, is the first African American to receive a DM in Tuba.

Sponsorships begin at $2,500. Learn more about our sponsor levels here or contact Amber Ewing Kostoff at amber@indysow.org.
