Together We Rise: Celebrating New Iowans

Project Description

Shalom Community Impact Center is an organization that serves Refugees and Immigrants. We provide a free preschool experience for children, an after school academic support program and summer program for 5 -15 year olds. We also provide free English Learning and Digital Skills classes, along with Job Search Assistance.

Please celebrate with us as we step into an evening filled with culture, inspiration, and community impact at the SCIC Fundraising Gala. This special night will showcase the richness of diversity through a lively dance team performance, uplifting music, and the flavors of a traditional African dinner that bring us together around the table.

The highlight of the evening will be our keynote speaker, Diedre DeJear, President & CEO of Oakridge Neighborhood, a trailblazing leader who has dedicated her career to strengthening communities and creating opportunities for all. Her words will inspire us as we join together in building brighter futures.

This gala is more than just an event—it is a celebration of SCIC’s ongoing mission to empower new Iowans, support families, and cultivate a welcoming community where everyone can thrive. With your partnership, SCIC continues to provide vital services such as preschool education, English and digital literacy classes, academic support, transportation, and summer enrichment programs.

Your presence and support at the gala will help ensure that SCIC can expand its reach and deepen its impact in the lives of hundreds of families. Come ready to be inspired, to celebrate, and to make a difference.

✨ Together, through music, dance, and dinner, we rise stronger as one community. ✨
