Unwind, give back, and let your inner child shine at the Iowa Center for Children's Justice’s annual Champions for Children event—our signature fundraiser celebrating those who make a difference in the lives of Iowa’s kids.

This year’s event will feature the presentation of the Champions for Children Awards, honoring individuals and organizations who go above and beyond to support children navigating family conflict, divorce, and custody disputes. We are proud to recognize:
Leadership Award: Retired Juvenile Judge Constance Cohen
Advocate Award: Carol Bodensteiner

Your presence and support help raise vital funds for ICCJ’s youth divorce workshops, legal advocacy, and financial assistance programs—ensuring children have the support they need during one of the most challenging times in their lives.

Whether you're sipping a signature drink with a silly straw, building a friendship bracelet, or competing in a classic game with a cocktail in hand, this fun and heartfelt event—featuring whimsical snacks and sweet throwback treats—reminds us that supporting kids can bring out the kid in all of us.
