Diversity Statement
Arvis Dawson
Chairman of the Board
IT HAS BEEN QUITE A YEAR!
Indiana Black Expo, Inc. (IBE) is an ever-evolving organization,
and it is difficult to imagine Indianapolis or Indiana in the last 35
years without considering the cultural impact IBE has had on the
families in numerous communities throughout the state. And 2005
was another significant year, marked by a series of historic events,
guests, and programs.
As the organization’s leaders, Board Chairman Arvis Dawson and
President/CEO Joyce Q. Rogers, Esq., have seen tremendous community support in continuing the legacy of the late Rev. Charles
Williams, and moving the organization to a higher level.
“It is our volunteers, partners and sponsors who have supported
our programs and events and have helped IBE to flourish,” notes
Dawson. “And the growth is measured in the number of men
serviced by the Rev. Charles Williams Prostate Cancer Mobile
Unit; the number of students that go to college through the
IBE/Circle City Classic scholarship program; and the number of
children receiving support
‘ at the statewide IBE Back to School
Rallies and USA Funds ‘Unlock the Future’ Program.”
One program that has taken on a life of its own is the IBE “State
of Our Black Youth” Report, which has motivated communities
across Indiana. It has sparked a renewed sense of duty to this
state’s youth and led to community meetings, and collaborations
with educational, governmental, and civic organizations. Much like
the vision of IBE, that African-American youth and families
should strive to achieve their highest potential, this report raises
questions regarding seven major issues that impact our community and charts a course for reaching our potential.
When IBE began in 1970, the small group of community leaders
envisioned an organization that would provide opportunities for
African American businesses. Many asked, “Did they foresee this?”
“Yes, I have talked with those who began this grassroots initiative,”
Rogers says. “They believed that IBE would become a landmark in
our community, not just in Indianapolis but through our 11
statewide chapters, with the Greater Lafayette Chapter as our most
recent addition.“ Programs like the National African American
Tobacco Education Network took a look at the breadth of IBE and
its chapters, and knew that it could accomplish the goal of reaching
thousands of tobacco users and inform them on the ill-affects of
smoking.”
Our forefathers and mothers believed that IBE could touch the
lives of more than Indiana residents. This belief came to fruition in
the form of a fundraiser, the “Make Your Dollar Count”
Campaign, which was in response to the devastating affects of
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on the Gulf Coast. Those attending
events during the Circle City Classic weekend donated more than,
$17,000 for students at historically Black colleges and universities
in conjunction with the Tom Joyner Foundation.
Since higher education is key for healthy families and a healthy
community, the campaign, along with new partnerships with Indiana
and Purdue universities, has given a fresh focus to IBE's efforts.
These strides have not gone unnoticed. IBE’s reach goes beyond
those coming directly from our services. During the 12-month
period, IBE generated more than seven million Web site hits, $12
million in publicity value, and garnered 140 million impressions
throughout local, regional and national media. Unheard of for a
nonprofit but not anymore.

SIGNATURE FUNDRAISERS
The Summer sizzled in Indianapolis! IBE’s 35th Anniversary
Summer Celebration (“Expo”) drew over 300,000 people to the
Mecca of arts, culture, education and entertainment for 10 days in
July.
Indianapolis was the destination for many as the place to be for the
largest Black and Minority Health Fair, the Black Business
Conference that featured the Black Enterprise Wealth Building
Seminar, and the IBE Youth Summit, to name a few. In addition to
the many activities and seminars, Summer Celebration was star
studded with appearances by pastor Rev. Jamal Harrison Bryant,
national recording artist Babyface, motivational speaker Les Brown,
rapper David Banner and comedian/actor Don “DC” Curry.
IBE was also proud to unveil the Rev. Charles Williams Prostate
Cancer Mobile Unit, a state of the art traveling medical office
offering PSA screenings across the state of Indiana. Other event
highlights include the presentation by Judge Glenda Hatchett of
the first IBE “State of Our Black Youth” Report conducted by the
Indiana Youth Institute; and, the large-scale participation of the
two of the state of Indiana’s largest educational institutions,
Purdue University and Indiana University.
Gospel Explosion
Summer Celebration was host to President George W. Bush at the
Corporate Luncheon presented by Pacers Sports and
Entertainment. This marked the first time a sitting president
appeared at Summer Celebration. Luncheon attendees also heard
from IBE’s only living founder, Jim Cummings as he accepted the
first Rev. Charles Williams Excellence Award.
Currently, Summer Celebration is a 10-day event with over 25
programs that impact the city of Indianapolis by contributing $35
million directly to the city’s economy.

CHARITABLE GIVING
NEW STRATEGIES HELPED CONTINUE THE LEGACY
IBE’s 11 chapters across the state invested considerably in the
growth and development of their respective community programs
and events. Each of them used the time, talent and treasures of all
chapter members and volunteers to provide an effective response to
local concerns. The combined chapters raised a total of $357,529 to
continue the IBE legacy across the state.
Retired Eli Lilly executive Andrew Crowe and his wife Janet hosted
a special fundraiser in their home in June to raise funds for the Rev.
Charles Williams Prostate Cancer Mobile Unit and to commemorate the late IBE president’s valiant battle against prostate cancer.
More than $10,000 was raised to help in the purchase of the medical screening mobile unit, only the second of its kind in the United
States. Andy and Janet graciously provided tours of their beautiful
British colonial style home full of eclectic, international décor. Andy
also shared a touching personal account of his victory over the deadly disease. IBE’s fight against prostate cancer consists of a public
awareness campaign that encourages regular medical check-ups for
early detection of the disease for men over 40.
In October, IBE reached out to Circle City Classic guests with the
Make Your Dollar Count Campaign, which was created to raise
funds for hurricane victims. It generated $17,000 in individual cash
donations when event organizers passed the bucket at various
Classic weekend venues. Donors eagerly came to the aid of victims
of one of America’s worst natural disasters.
