Join us Wednesday evening for a dinner in the Quarterback Suite at Lucas Oil Stadium. A shuttle service will be available from The Alexander starting at 6:30 pm. We know some of you will attend the 2023 JASI Gala instead of our dinner on Wednesday night. So that you are not paying for two dinners, we created a special registration that doesn't include the dinner in the Quarterback Suite.
