The reception was attended by luminaries of Indianapolis business, technology, and government, including long-time friend and supporter, former Mayor of Indianapolis Greg Ballard, who offered his congratulations.

“It’s amazing what has happened with your company. I congratulate you so much for helping so many people. Doing good work is good business also, so congratulations.”

During the Ballard administration, Givelify partnered with the City of Indianapolis for the annual Pack the Pantries hunger relief campaign. Walle was unable to attend the event due to a scheduling conflict, so Pastor Ron Pulliam, Givelify’s Vice President of Denominational Relations accepted on his behalf.

“While Silicon Valley is often recognized as the hub for technology innovation, emerging leaders and innovative companies like the ones we will honor have put the Hoosier state on the map.

“I am excited to recognize these extraordinary honorees that represent exactly what Hoosiers are capable of during this season’s Golden Laurel Professional Reception.”
