Variety Club Stag Night 2024

Last night, Variety – the Children's Charity of Iowa hosted their annual Stag Night at the picturesque Powder River Ranch in Cumming, IA. This men's-only event was filled with energy, camaraderie, and a shared commitment to supporting children in need.

Event Highlights:

  • Auctions: The evening featured both live and silent auctions with items generously donated by various supporters and vendors. Attendees had the opportunity to bid on unique experiences, rare bottles of whiskey, firearms, sports memorabilia, and more. The live auction was particularly exciting; I'm beginning to think "auction photographer" should be an official title. Can we make that happen?

  • Cuisine and Drinks: As expected at Stag Night, a classic steak and potatoes dinner was served, accompanied by a wide selection of beverages to keep the spirits high.

  • Venue: The stunning backdrop of Powder River Ranch added to the event's charm. I'd love to return and explore the property furtherβ€”it's truly beautiful! Note to self: next time, skip the sandals. Being the girly-girl that I am, I didn't consider the ranch's terrain. If you know me, this won't surprise you. Lesson learned!

Purpose and Impact:

Beyond the fun and festivities, the heart of the event was its incredible cause. Variety is dedicated to improving the lives of children who are at risk, underprivileged, critically ill, or living with special needs. Funds raised during this Stag Night will significantly aid the charity in continuing its important work.

Conclusion:

The annual Stag Night at Powder River Ranch was a resounding success. The evening wasn't just about entertainment; it was about community, philanthropy, and making a difference in children's lives. With great food, plenty of drinks, amazing vendors, and an atmosphere of fun and generosity, it was a night to remember for all who attended. The event highlighted the spirit of giving and the impact a community can have when it comes together for a noble cause.

For a visual recap of the evening, I’ve included some of my favorite images from the evening.
