What is The Big Schmooze anyway?

The Big Schmooze is an evening to recognize the Power Players of Northern Indiana as featured in Building Indiana News magazine and the annual kick-off event for the United Ways Serving Lake and Porter Counties. 

Shake hands, Exchange cards, and Rub elbows with the leading folks in Northwest Indiana.

We even have a one-of-a-kind silent auction, in which all artwork has been created or commissioned by one of the Power Players. You don't want to miss what these leaders put together!

Proceeds to benefit the United Ways Serving Lake and Porter Counties and the more than 70 charities they support. Every one of us is touched by a United Way agency and knows a family member, neighbor or co-worker who utilizes one of their programs.
