What an evening!

Thank you so much for your support of the 2025 Interfaith Alliance of Iowa Award Celebration: Challenging Extremism — Reclaiming our Democracy!

‍The Award Celebration always uplifts and energizes me. I hope you had a great night and it did the same for you. We all know we have much work ahead of us but we also know we are stronger together!

As you are aware, the celebration is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Because of you and others in the room, we raised over $22,000 during the evening and over $130,000 total to support our critical programming work. This is going to help us have a bigger impact all across Iowa. Thank you!!

Now for some housekeeping:

• If you still need to fulfill a pledge you made, you may do so online or mail a check to our office: PO Box 41086, Des Moines, IA 50311.
• We have great new merch! You can order a shirt from our Raygun store, or purchase one of the shirts and/or notebooks we have in stock at our office — just give us a call (515.279.8715) to make sure we're available to assist. If you picked up some of our merch at the end of the event and didn’t yet pay, you can send a check to the same address above (just include a note stating what it's for) or pay by credit card here.
• Check out the event photos! They are fantastic!

Thank you again — for your sponsorships, your presence, and all you do for the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa!
