Indiana Fever Small Business Assist Program Finalist: Craft Connections

The Indiana Fever are proud to recognize Craft Connections as one of three finalists in the Indiana Fever Small Business Assist Program presented by Old National Bank.

Founded by Alicia Thomas, Craft Connections uses art and storytelling to make literacy engaging and accessible for neurodiverse learners. Craft Connections creates inclusive spaces where children and young adults connect creatively with their communities, building confidence and communication across learning styles.  By partnering with schools, families, and organizations, Craft Connections bridges the gap between neurodivergent and neurotypical communities.

Presented by Old National Bank, the Indiana Fever Small Business Assist Program is a unique opportunity to spotlight and support outstanding small businesses across Indiana. Earlier this year, Indiana residents aged 18 or older had the opportunity to nominate themselves or a deserving small business owner.

Three finalists, including Craft Connections, were selected. Finalists receive on-court business recognition, Fever game tickets, and their business featured in a social media spotlight video. One grand prize winner will also receive a $5,000 grand prize from Old National Bank.
