Sponsorships
Our programs are able to help people throughout Northeastern and North Central Iowa thanks to a host of organizations who provide support to Friends of the Family. If you would like to sponsor an event, please contact us.
On April 5th, FOF held our 5rd Annual "Chefs Take A Stand" fundraising event at the Isle Casino Hotel in Waterloo. Five local chefs made incredible dishes while guests also enjoyed samplings from various beverage vendors.
All of our guests had the opportunity to vote for their favorite dish. After all the votes were tallied, it was a very close race with Chef Jennifer Madsen from Fox Ridge Golf Course winning the "Best Dish" Award. She was presented with News/Talk 1540 KXEL Best Dish Diamond Plaque.
This year Chefs Take A Stand raised over $19,000 from ticket sales, auction items, sponsorships and other donations! The proceeds from this event will go toward providing safe shelter and housing for survivors of violence. Thank you to our guests, donors, volunteers and FOF team. Without you, none of this would have been possible
