2024 Holiday Party
MDFF’s annual holiday party has been a tradition since the organization started and continues to this day.

For the last 74 years, MDFF and the Indianapolis Fire Department have partnered together for the MDFF Holiday Party. This year’s party was held at the Marriott North Indianapolis. The beautiful venue was a great backdrop for this year’s celebrations. Every person with MD left with a gift for themselves and one they picked out and wrapped for their caregiver. It was a great party to kick off the holiday season.
This year’s party had a carnival theme with several different games families could play to earn tickets for prizes. The games included a snowball bucket toss, candy cane fishing, remote control car races, reindeer “hunting” game (which consisted of firefighters darting behind objects while the players tried to hit them with snowballs or a foam dart blaster), and blackjack. While playing games, a DJ (Klear Sounds Media) played holiday songs, and dogs from Paws and Think roamed the area to play with the families.
Also, the Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders joined us again this year and not only played carnival games with the kids, and signed autographs, but also led a dance lesson and performance with several of the kids. It was amazing to see the smiles they brought to all of the kids’ faces and the joy they exuded at the party.
This party was one to remember and we cannot wait to celebrate the holidays with our families again next year!

We want to say a special thank you to this year’s Holiday Party sponsors. The party would not be the same without you!
