The Indiana General Assembly honors the Junior League of Indianapolis (JLI) on its 95th anniversary and commends the organization for its service to the community.

JLI was founded in 1922 and has spearheaded community initiatives including founding the Occupational Therapy Department at Riley Hospital for Children, establishing the Docent Program at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and leading the first Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.

Since 2013, JLI has partnered with over a dozen organizations annually, investing over $200,000 in funding and volunteer hours, totaling over one million dollars in Central Indiana.

In 2016, JLI held its inaugural "Around the Community - Around the Clock" event with 160 members contributing 506 volunteer hours to 13 nonprofit organizations over 94 continuous hours.

JLI is expanding the "Around the Community - Around the Clock" event to 95 continuous hours in 2017 and plans to increase by one hour annually, reaching 100 hours by its 100th anniversary in 2022.
