Help Us Spread Our Wings 2025
It's time for Rhyme & Reason's 4th annual fundraising gala! Join us for this inspiring evening and Help Us Spread Our Wings.
South Bend's own Mark McGill will emcee this exciting evening. Mark, currently the Director of Member Relations for the South Bend Regional Chamber, spent over 30 years in radio.
We are thrilled to have Tom Severs as one of our guest speakers. Tom, who was born with cerebral palsy, has never known life outside of a wheelchair—unless you count the wild, crazy amusement park ride he has been on in his mind and heart for his entire life. In his book "Divine Coaster Chronicles," Tom takes us through the ups and downs of his life as he embraces the path that led him to find joy and purpose. You do not want to miss the opportunity to meet him and hear his inspiring story.
Also joining us is Jennifer Wiese, founder and CEO of BeeFree, the nationally recognized brand of gluten-free, grain-free snacks that are as delicious as they are healthy. BeeFree began as a deeply personal mission inspired by her son’s autism diagnosis. Her quest for clean-label, gluten-free recipes evolved into a company that provides wholesome snacks and meaningful employment opportunities for adults with autism and other disabilities. Jennifer, a mission-driven entrepreneur, speaker, and advocate for workplace inclusion and diversity, is well-known for her compelling speaking engagements, in which she shares her story of resilience and the powerful "why" behind BeeFree's mission.
The evening includes our guest speakers, dinner, and our highly anticipated silent auction. Visit the auction site often to check on newly added items and to start planning your winning bid strategy. Bidding begins on March 1st.
R&R is mobilizing an ambitious campaign to provide a unique and inspirational place for members of our community with physical, mental, and emotional challenges to gather, take part in therapeutic activities, and gain vocational skills. We dream of a place to play, with space to explore, connect and grow. Proceeds from this event go toward the vision for R&R’s 84 acres located in Lakeville, IN.
