Gala attendees will learn how their attendance and participation is making an impact on the children, families and individuals in our communities.
As Family Resources’ largest fundraiser of the year, the gala hosts nearly 400 attendees and raises funds to fill critical needs across the agency. Last year, Family Resources provided direct services and awareness trainings to more than 37,000 individuals in eastern Iowa and western Illinois. By attending our gala, guests are ensuring the continuation of crucial services such as survivor services, emergency housing, foster group-care, and mental health services.
