Riverside Gala
We are beyond thrilled to join together with our supporters for a lovely evening of generosity and fellowship that will impact the lives of kids across Iowa and beyond. The proceeds from the evening will all go toward the Riverside ministry and what God is up to at camp. Each year Riverside gives out camperships to kids/families who otherwise would not get to experience the life-changing ministry done at Riverside. Thanks for being a part of that.
This year’s meaningful evening will include hearty appetizers, a homestyle dinner, auctions, live music, dessert, and dancing—all with a relaxed country vibe.

Classy with a touch of campy country. Feel free to wear dresses, skirts, suit jackets, suede jackets, flannels, or dress shirts. Boots, bolo ties, and cowboy hats are encouraged and welcome!
