Iowa Farm Sanctuary hosts its inaugural gala March 1 at Wilson’s Ciderhouse in Iowa City to celebrate its mission of compassion and the community who supports it.
The sanctuary gained attention this year after taking in Phill, the water buffalo that escaped in Pleasant Hill, and his siblings who were suffering in subpar living conditions at a nearby home. The sanctuary in Oxford houses and rehabilitates rescued and injured farm animals from all over the state, and the inaugural gala will raise money to support the daily care and medical treatment the animals need.
Tickets to the event include a cocktail hour and plated vegan dinner. There will also be live and silent auctions, a painting demonstration, and speakers.
