🎡 The Iowa State Fair starts TODAY! 🎉
We’re thrilled to be back at the Iowa Craft Beer Tent again this year! 🍻

All tips from the tent get split between IOWA Service Dogs and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa, so every pour supports two incredible causes. 🙌🐾💙

Huge thanks to the Iowa Craft Beer Tent for this amazing opportunity. Let’s make it a great Fair!

🍻 Calling Volunteers! 🍻
We only have a few spots left to fill at the Iowa Craft Beer Tent during the Iowa State Fair!

When you volunteer, you’ll get:
✅ Free admission to the Fair
👕 A free t-shirt
💸 All tips go directly to support IOWA Service Dogs and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa

But here’s the catch: If we don’t fill all the shifts — or if volunteers don’t show up — we don’t receive the tips.
So if you sign up, please make sure you can commit to your shift. It makes a big difference for both of our organizations!

Let’s pour for a purpose — and have some fun while doing it! 🍺🐾

A huge thank you to Graham Construction for being a proud sponsor of the Top Dog Bags Tournament — and for standing beside us at so many events over the years. 💙

Your continued support helps us place highly trained service dogs with veterans and first responders, empowering lives and strengthening communities.

We’re honored to have you as part of the IOWA Service Dogs family.
Thank you, Graham Construction, for believing in our mission. 🐾

We had a blast sponsoring the Top Dogs Bag Tournament with IOWA Service Dogs. Proceeds go directly to training and placing service dogs with veterans and first responders across Iowa—because heroes deserve heroes.

Special thanks to Nichole McDowell, Mark Hasek, and Rich Reiken for donating their time and bringing the Graham Mentality to life!
