The UI Retiree Association invites you to an evening of live music, good food, and community connection—all in support of the Food Pantry at Iowa. Entertainment will be provided by local favorite band Homebrewed, led by Pete Damiano, Bernstein Endowed Professor of Preventive and Community Dentistry in the UI College of Dentistry. The Food Pantry at Iowa serves students, staff, and faculty facing food insecurity. Your participation directly supports access to nutritious food and essential items for Hawkeyes who rely on these services.

A light selection of appetizers will be provided for attendees; beverages and additional food items may be purchased individually. Tavern Blue will donate 10% of all sales to the Food Pantry at Iowa.

Event sponsors include: The UI Retiree Association, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, The Graduate College, International Programs, UI Center for Human Rights, and Tavern Blue.
