Sieda Community Action presents the Sneaker Soirée, Sieda’s annual banquet and auction. It will be an evening of music, sneakers, speakers, and fellowship all while raising money for an awesome cause. Sieda Community Action has been working in Southern Iowa communities for nearly 60 years; helping families pay utility bills, educating children, improving home energy efficiency, making homes safer, preventing and treating substance use and abuse, providing school supplies, holiday gifts, meals, and fighting the causes and conditions of poverty. With your help, we will be here for years to come.

Last year Sieda Community Action helped well over 7,000 low-income families (comprised of more than 15,000 individual family members) through our multifaceted approach to addressing the causes and conditions of poverty in Appanoose, Davis, Jefferson, Keokuk, Mahaska, Van Buren, and Wapello Counties.

We’ll have a very special Best Sneaker Contest! Enter the day of the Soirée in one of four categories.

Most Unusual – The sneakers that are different from anyone else’s in the room.
Most Colorful – The more colors the better.
Best Duo – You’ve got to coordinate; pair up with a partner to create the best sneaker combo.
Rattiest – Did you just throw on your old running shoes or dig out your mowers? No problem. The most beat up pair wins.

Be comfortable doing good. Dig out your favorite sneakers, tennis shoes, skaters, or casual shoes for Sieda’s Sneaker Soirée. A skirt with Skechers; chinos and Chucks; your best suit plus Superstars; anything goes. Just wear your favorite athletic shoes and help Sieda change the lives of low-income families in Iowa.

Ticket price includes a full meal, and a drink ticket for each guest.
