Thank you to our incredible Colts Training Camp volunteers for all of their hard work this past month! 💙

From early mornings to late nights, our volunteers showed up ready to serve, support, and welcome Colts fans to Westfield. Together, they filled more than 500 volunteer shifts across 11 practices and two joint practices, helping welcome thousands of fans to Droplight Grand Park Sports Campus.

This year was especially meaningful as we celebrated the eighth and final Colts Training Camp at Grand Park. We are so grateful for the memories our volunteers helped create and the lasting impact they made on our community. 🏈👏
