On Friday, May 15, 2026, we invite you to join us for An Evening of High Stakes and Higher Purpose as we recognize the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates' 15th Anniversary.
Our evening of celebration will begin with an exclusive VIP cocktail reception featuring a hosted bar, passed hors d’oeuvres, and lively entertainment. As the celebration continues, guests will enjoy curated cuisine, try their luck at casino tables, bid in a spirited silent auction, and dance the night away—all in support of preserving and protecting this treasured landmark.
Tickets and tables are available HERE.
Every dollar raised during this extraordinary evening stays right here in Des Moines, helping ensure that the Hall of Laureates continues to inspire future generations. For 15 years, the Hall of Laureates has stood at the heart of downtown Des Moines as a proud symbol of Iowa’s leadership in agriculture and global engagement. Built in 1900 and thoughtfully restored as the permanent home of the World Food Prize Foundation, the Hall reflects the spirit of our state: resilient, visionary, and deeply rooted in the land.
Thank you for being part of an unforgettable evening in support of the historic Hall of Laureates. We look forward to seeing you there.
