For Immediate Release: June 9, 2017 (Updated: June 9, 2017, 8:25 p.m.)


INDIANAPOLIS – In a celebration of former Indiana Governor and current Vice President Mike Pence’s birthday, impersonator Mike Hot-Pence raised over $1,500 for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Indiana and Kentucky (PPAIK) on Wednesday afternoon. PPAIK and Hot-Pence hosted an event on Monument Circle where participants enjoyed cupcakes, posed with Hot-Pence for photos, and expressed their support for Planned Parenthood in the Hoosier state.

Mike Hot-Pence is a Mike Pence impersonator who spends his free time collecting donations for important causes such as LGBT rights, the environment, refugee support, and women's rights. He first dressed up as then-Gov. Pence for Halloween in 2016, and then began collecting donations in Times Square as Mike Hot-Pence after the election. In May, Hot-Pence announced that he had raised over $15,000 for various charities since beginning the project.

“Planned Parenthood is under attack, and on Mike Pence’s birthday our present to him is a strong showing of support for health care and for Planned Parenthood,” said Wanda Savala, Public Affairs Manager at PPAIK.

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Indiana and Kentucky (PPAIK) is an independent, nonpartisan, not-for-profit membership organization formed as the advocacy and political arm of Planned Parenthood of Indiana and Kentucky (PPINK). The advocacy portion of PPINK engages in educational and electoral activity, including voter education, grassroots organizing, and legislative advocacy.
