Central Indiana Scholarships

03/31/2026

Big congratulations to CICF Marketing & Publications Officer Greg O’Neill and the Wife Patrol trio — Natasha O’Neill, Nicole O’Neal, and Greg O’Neill — on earning a Naptone Award for Rock/Punk/Metal Album of the Year for Noplace.

Music and arts are essential parts of a thriving community. When local artists write about this city, record here, and perform at local venues, they help shape the culture and energy that make Central Indiana feel alive.

We’re proud of Greg, and of the Path Builders across CICF who help strengthen our community on and off the clock.
