Thank You for an Exquisite, Record-Setting Sip, Savor, & Support in 2026
An evening of elegance, fine dining, and good friends culminated in a record-setting evening of fundraising for the EveryStep Foundation at Sip, Savor, & Support 2026.
Once again, EveryStep was honored to welcome our friends, supporters, and community leaders together at The Loft in Des Moines to share our mission and the stories of our success in the community.
At the end of the evening, more than $255,000 had been raised for the EveryStep Foundation, including more than $80,000 pledged during the evening's Fund the Mission request at the end of the evening.
Among the auction items that attendees walked away with were jerseys autographed by the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce - as well as a package of Caitlin Clark autographs that topped both NFL stars in bids!
None of this would have been possible without an amazing team working behind the scenes. Thank you to event co-chairs Mara White and Erin DeMichelis and to our presenting sponsor, Merchants Bonding Company, without whom none of this could be possible.
Thank you as well to our sponsors, including: NCMIC, Sammons Financial Group, IMT, Homesteaders Life, SHAZAM, Benda & Company Private Wealth, F&G, American Equity, Graham Construction, Flynn Wright, Waldinger Corporation, and all of the volunteers, vendors and staff who brought the evening together.
