21st Annual Arni's Charity Classic

Arni Cohen, founder of Arni's Restaurants and Indiana Restaurant Association Hall of Fame member, was well-known for his long history of community involvement and we are proud to continue honoring his legacy by hosting this event each year. Since 2002, the Arni's Charity Classic has raised over $860,000 for Central Indiana charitable organizations.

Once again, our primary recipient will be Indiana Wish. Their mission is to put smiles on the faces of Indiana children, who have been diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses, by making dreams come true. Too many children are fighting for their lives and going through miserable treatments that make them sick for days on end. By granting their wishes, we can build strength, give them something to look forward to, and offer hope for a better future. We will also continue to raise money for the Arnold I. Cohen Memorial Faculty Endowment Award, which was founded in Arni's honor, to help advance the education of faculty members at Purdue University's School of Hotel and Tourism Management.

Some of the other local charities we are proud to support through this event include Damar, Firefly Children & Family Alliance, Purdue Athletes Life Success (PALS), Bauer Family Resource Center, and the West Lafayette Parks Foundation.

We are so excited to welcome you back to Purgatory for our 21st annual event. We do anticipate another sell out, so reserve your foursome today!
