Dady Dash
Annual 5k Walk/Run and 10k Run
Join us on September 19th at the Prairie Park Fishery, for our annual Dady Dash -- a timed 5k walk, 5k run, and 10k run! Registration is $30 which includes a race bib/chip for timing and a free Dady Dash t-shirt. All proceeds benefit the day-to-day operations of Willis Dady Homeless Services.
Party with a Purpose
Music. Raffle. Fun.
Party with a Purpose was designed to be smaller fundraisers throughout the year to bring together Willis Dady's network. It's a time to connect over a common cause in a fun atmosphere. Bring your friends along!
Our next Party with a Purpose will be July 16th at Cedar Ridge from 5:30PM-8:00PM. We will have live music from the Poor Poor Rich and a raffle you can enter for $50 that includes a 2 hr. bay time at PinSocial and 4 Kernels tickets. There will be a suggested donation at the door of $25.
Sponsors. Are. Amazing
Willis Dady could not host these events without the help of our sponsors! On top of funding, our sponsors expand the reach of our vision and mission throughout Eastern Iowa.
