IBR Gala 2026

Wings of Iowa 2026 is an evening where compassion takes flight.

Join Iowa Bird Rehabilitation supporters, community leaders, and wildlife advocates for our signature fundraising gala celebrating the power of care, community, and second chances. Together, we’ll gather to support the injured and orphaned wild birds of Iowa and the people who make their recovery possible.

Enjoy an unforgettable night featuring a curated auction, inspiring stories from the heart of our mission, and opportunities to directly impact the lifesaving work happening every day at IBR. Funds raised through Wings of Iowa 2026 will support critical medical care, rehabilitation facilities, and the resources needed to return birds safely back to the wild.

Whether you’re a longtime supporter or joining us for the first time, Wings of Iowa is more than an event. It is a shared commitment to protecting Iowa’s wildlife and ensuring every bird has a chance to soar.

We invite you to be part of the story.
