What a Homecoming!🏈🧡

This past Saturday, the Broad Ripple community came together for the second annual BRMS + BRHS ( Broad Ripple Middle School )Homecoming Celebration — and we loved getting to be part of it.

From the parade and tailgating to the football game, it was such a fun day celebrating students, alumni, families, neighbors + the Broad Ripple community.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the BRVA table, grabbed a Broad Ripple rubber duck, and donated art supplies for the Broad Ripple Middle School art department. 
Thanks to your generosity, BRVA collected 6 bags of art supply donations to support local students. 🎨

Go Rockets! 🧡

A huge thank you to the Eight Eleven team for spending their Service Day giving back to Broad Ripple! 💙

This past Friday, nearly 100 volunteers came together to help care for and improve our Village — with Eight Eleven Group generously providing all of the supplies for the day.

Their team got to work:
✨ Painting the Monon Trail Gazebo at 65th & Cornell
💛 Repainting and touching up yellow curbs throughout the Village
🌿 Removing invasive honeysuckle in Broad Ripple Park
🗑️ Picking up trash throughout the neighborhood

We’re incredibly grateful for the time, energy, and effort they poured into our community. Days like this are a great reminder of what can happen when people come together to take care of the place we all share!
