BASH, the largest annual fundraiser for the Washington Township Schools Foundation, is an adults-only evening with food, drinks, and plenty of entertainment and surprises throughout the night.
All proceeds from BASH go to support and enhance the unique educational experiences of our MSDWT students through grants, scholarships, and transformational programs like AVID and PantherQuest.

Your participation directly fuels innovation for over 11,000 students. By attending the BASH, you’re investing in equitable learning environments and creative programming that goes beyond the standard budget. Every dollar helps the Foundation provide the resources our teachers and students need to dream bigger and secure a brighter future for our entire community.
The Factory Arts District is more than just a venue—it’s a piece of Indianapolis history reborn. Located in the massive former Schwitzer Corporation factory on Indy’s near eastside, this space is the “real deal.” While others try to replicate an industrial look, this complex stays true to its gritty, entrepreneurial roots, blending raw architectural details with a high-end, modern spirit. It is the perfect backdrop for a night built on innovation and imagination.
Your BASH ticket is an all-access pass to the evening’s festivities. Every guest will enjoy a curated selection of savory bites and sweet treats (including signature desserts from JEL’s culinary students!) along with a variety of beverage options and full access to all the performances and entertainment we have planned.
BASH is a 21+ event.
