AMES, IOWA (July 29, 2026) — Iowans for Adoption, with title sponsor Iowa Farm Bureau, invites the community to attend the From Hope to Home Gala on Thursday, September 17, 2026, 6-8:30PM, at Reiman Gardens in Ames.
Guests are encouraged to arrive at 5:30PM to enjoy a complimentary stroll through the gardens before the evening begins.
The Gala will feature dinner, inspiring speakers, silent and live auctions, raffles, and powerful stories celebrating the life-changing impact of foster care, adoption, and community support. The event will benefit statewide programs that recruit foster and adoptive families, assist with adoption finalization expenses, educate Iowans about the Safe Haven Act, and help children waiting in foster care find safe, loving, permanent families.
"Every child deserves the love, stability, and security of a permanent family. Hundreds of children in Iowa are waiting to be adopted from foster care." said Diana Lang, Executive Director of Iowans for Adoption.
"This event gives our community an opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of Iowa children and families."
Individuals, families, businesses, and organizations are invited to attend, reserve a table, become a sponsor, donate auction or raffle items, or make a financial contribution in support of the organization's mission.
