The Growth Gala is an annual fundraising event that raises awareness and funds for Project Iowa so we can continue to offer our workforce programming and services at little or no cost. However, and more importantly, it is a time that we come together as a community and celebrate the accomplishments of our past participants. We hear stories of hardships that were overcome, partnerships that were formed, success in individuals' professional and personal lives, and so much more. It is a special night that allows people from all walks of life to gather and live a shared experience together.
Thank you to our 2025 Growth Gala Sponsors!
