I gave $30 today so IRIS could purchase 2 radios to give to blind listeners across Iowa. IRIS delivers 24-hour news -- free -- including 7 Iowa newspapers, so listeners can be informed, engaged citizens. Those radios last for years. Join me!

[Iowa Radio Reading @IRISReadsToIowa]

On #GivingTuesday, $30 buys one of our custom IRIS radio receivers for someone who lives with a print disability. Until midnight, a generous donor will MATCH YOUR GIFT! Our goal: 100 radios!
Your $30 donation = 1 radio + match = 2 radios!

If your kids found their joy in music, then you know how important organizations like Heartland Youth Choir are. Beyond joy, music taught our boys confidence, courage, creativity, leadership, friendship, teamwork -- and most important, to take risks. Give them your support today.
