Karen Pence, former second lady of the United States and first lady of Indiana, announced Wednesday morning that funds from her new charitable foundation’s inaugural luncheon will be awarded to organizations supporting veterans.

The Hummingbird Charitable Foundation is named after the codename “hummingbird” that was used for Pence in the White House. She first announced its creation in September. For the first Hummingbird Charitable Foundation fundraiser, to be held at noon March 27 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom, Pence and her board have selected three veteran-focused charities: Indy Honor Flight, INvets, and the Indy Warrior Partnership.
