BARGERSVILLE, Ind. — For the third year, nonprofit leaders from across Johnson County will be celebrated for their dedication, service, and impact at the 2026 Glitter & Gratitude Gala on Tuesday, April 14, from 6 to 10 p.m. at The Sycamore at Mallow Run.

The annual event brings together nonprofit executives and leaders for an evening dedicated entirely to honoring those who devote their lives to strengthening and serving the community.

The first year was hosted by a Leadership Johnson County group, and several Community Champions have carried the torch on to year three. The gala is a no-cost celebration designed to recognize the often-unseen (yet important) work of Johnson County’s nonprofit leaders.

This year’s theme, “Peace, Love, and Gratitude: A Night of Soul Service,” invites guests to embrace a fun, retro-inspired atmosphere with 1960s and 1970s attire—think disco glamour and tie-dye flair—while enjoying live music, food, drinks, and dancing.

Each nonprofit organization in Johnson County is invited to send two representatives to the event. The evening will also feature the presentation of two community leadership awards:

  • Lifetime Achievement Award (2025 recipients: Kim Smith and Sonya Ware-Meguiar)
  • Catalyst for Hope Award (2025 recipient: Barb Miller)

Anyone is welcome to attend the Glitter and Graditude Gala, but space is limited. RSVPs are required by March 27. If a nonprofit leader is unable to attend, another representative from their organization is welcome in their place.
