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!
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! https://t.co/07Hp5KrYBO

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.
The gift of music lasts a lifetime. This #GivingTuesday help us reach a goal of $600 for new teaching software that will improve our students' ability to learn -- and love -- music. Make a difference with a gift of $10, $20, $30 today. Donating is easy at https://t.co/kyuQUINV3l
