INDIANAPOLIS — A helicopter covered the far east side of Indianapolis with more than 10,000 Easter eggs Saturday afternoon at Dee Ross Community Park.
“The only time children see a helicopter is either from the news station or law enforcement,” said Dee Ross, the CEO of The Ross Foundation. “We’re changing the narrative on the far east side and making sure each child gets the same childhood memories and experiences as other privileged communities. They deserve it!”
The Easter Egg Hunt, hosted by The Ross Foundation, celebrated its ninth year of giving back to children. However, the event aims to help families well beyond the holiday. “Families leave with more than just Easter eggs; they leave with resources. Events like these instill hope and make sure neglected communities feel seen and valued.”
Ross, 33, began the foundation because he wanted the youth to be more engaged in their community. “The joy on these children’s faces makes it worth it in the end,” said Ross.
