Can you imagine a world without birds?

Wings of Iowa, a celebration of birds, is a way for us to bring awareness of the importance of wild birds in Iowa.

Many bird populations are experiencing major population declines due to habitat loss, climate change, light pollution, and decrease in food sources. You are who the birds count on for their future, and with your attendance, we are giving birds a second chance and creating a future for our feathered friends.

Be part of the solution, and be part of our gala.

The state of Iowa relies on our help, and we are at the point where we need to grow and expand.

Our mission is two-fold:

Offer immediate assistance to our community now
Contribute to Iowa’s future and make sure generations after us can enjoy the beauty and sounds of the wild birds that call Iowa home.

Join us for food, fun, entertainment, and a keynote speech from one of Iowa's biggest animal advocates, Tom Colvin, CEO of the Animal Rescue League. He will be speaking about his wildlife experience and why the work we are doing is so important. Plus, enjoy music from Iowa musician Chad Elliot, and watch local artist Amy Putney-Koenig create an art piece live during the event.

This is going to be a night to spread your wings and have some fun!

Thank you,

Dr. Jenni Boonjakuakul, Ph.D.

Founder and Executive Director
