What does it mean to wear the Red Coat?

Since 1957, the Mad Anthonys Red Coat has served as one of Northeast Indiana’s highest civic honors. It is a symbol of transformative leadership, exceptional achievement, and an unwavering commitment to our region.

Over the decades, the Red Coat has honored world-class athletes, business pioneers, local philanthropists, and national leaders—from Neil Armstrong, Bob Knight, and Peyton Manning to Vera Bradley’s Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, Chuck Surack, and Purdue Fort Wayne's Coach Jon Coffman.

While their accomplishments span every industry, every Red Coat honoree shares one common trait: they use their success to uplift others.

Their leadership drives our annual Red Coat Gala and Pro-Am, generating the vital grant funding that supports local children, youth mentorship, and family health programs across Northeast Indiana. When you see a Red Coat, you’re looking at a legacy of giving back to the community we call home.

What began as a last-minute Pro-Am on the eve of the 1956 PGA of America Fort Wayne Open has evolved into a venerable tradition. For decades, the Mad Anthonys Foundation, led by local philanthropists, business leaders, and community partners, has united Northeast Indiana to raise millions of dollars for charitable causes, with a strong focus on children's initiatives.

Beyond the immediate impact of fundraising, this network helped elevate Fort Wayne's profile by bringing golf’s most recognizable personalities and Indiana’s prominent leaders to our city.

Today, that core mission remains unchanged. Through our signature events, including the annual Mad Anthonys Foundation Pro-Am Tournament and the Red Coat Gala, we continue to leverage our community network to deliver high-impact grants to local nonprofits.

Following a fantastic evening at the Red Coat Gala, we kept the momentum going at the Mad Anthonys Pro-Am Golf Tournament!

A true Fort Wayne tradition, the Pro-Am brings together top professional golfers and local amateurs for an incredible day on the course. Beyond the competition, this event is all about philanthropy; raising vital funds for charitable organizations across Northeast Indiana while building lasting community connections.

Congratulations to all of our players, sponsors, and partners who made the morning such a success! See you on the course next year! 🏌️‍♂️🏆

What a night at The Clyde Theatre celebrating 70 years of excellence and impact at the Mad Anthonys Red Coat Gala! 🧥✨

The Red Coat Gala honors leaders who have made extraordinary contributions to Fort Wayne and the state of Indiana. This year, we were proud to recognize Mark Music and DaMarcus Beasley!

From shaping the explosive growth of local soccer to guiding Fort Wayne FC into a state-of-the-art stadium for their USL League One launch, Mark (Principal Owner) and DaMarcus (Co-owner & Director of Football Operations) are driving our community forward. ⚽

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable night of celebration!
