017 - Eric Richards, President & CEO of Cancer Support Cummunity

Eric Richards has spent the better part of the past decade making quite a name for himself in the Indianapolis Not-for-Profit scene.  Before heading up Cancer Support Community Central Indiana, Eric was VP of Development and Communications for Little Red Door Cancer Agency.

CSC's signature fundraiser is "Laughing Matters," which next year features the very funny Nick Offerman of Parks and Recreation fame.  Cancer, of course, is "no laughing matter," but this one night of comedy provides a much-needed financial and emotional lift to the organization.

When Eric isn't busy fundraising for cancer initiatives, he pours his heart and soul into his music.  Eric has been a live musician performing around Indianapolis for years with the band Frayed Edges.
