Farm Sanctuary Fundraiser–April 29

Please join us for a palate-pleasing and fund-and-awareness-raising dinner on Wednesday April 29th, at the Red Avocado with special guest Gene Baur, president and co-founder of the national nonprofit Farm Sanctuary.

For 23 years, Gene and his staff have been fighting for farm-animal protection through rescue, education, and advocacy efforts. In recent years, his organization has played a key role in outlawing the most egregious forms of cruelty on factory farms in Florida, Arizona, and California; might Iowa be next?

Gene will be in Iowa the last week of April for a program put on by Iowa native Elizabeth Cummings. For more details about Gene’s background and the event lineup, please go to IowaFarmLife.org.
