Together, we’ll mark the 15th Anniversary of the Hall of Laureates with a celebration as dazzling as it is meaningful. Step into the splendor of our Casino Night, set within the breathtaking grandeur of our Hall of Laureates. As the evening unfolds, guests will savor curated cuisine, try their luck at lively casino tables, bid generously in a spirited silent auction and dance the night away—all in honor of a place that proudly belongs to Iowa.
Built in 1900 and beautifully restored, this historic Iowa landmark stands as a testament to Iowa’s enduring leadership in agriculture and its profound global impact. From its earliest chapters to its latest transformation into the permanent home of the World Food Prize Foundation, the Hall has embodied the very spirit of our state: resilient, visionary and deeply rooted in the land. Every dollar raised during this extraordinary evening stays right here at home, supporting the preservation and protection of the treasured landmark.
This is more than a celebration. It is a promise to preserve our past, honor our identity and invest boldly in Iowa’s future.
