Julie's Jamboree - Games, Food Trucks, Inflatables & Fun Run

All are welcome to join us at our first Julie's Jamobree at Morgan Creek Park! This family-friendly evening will feature yard games, inflatables, food, music, and 1 mile fun run/walk. All proceeds will go to Friends of Iowa CASA and ICFCRB, a non-profit organization which supports volunteer advocacy programs for children who experience abuse and neglect. At any given time, there are about 900 children in an out-of-home placement - including foster care - in the Eastern Corridor. Iowa's court-appointed special advocates and foster care review board volunteers donate thousands of hours every year to advocate for these vulnerable children as they navigate the juvenile system. Julie's Jamboree is named for Julie Hansen, a long time Cedar Rapids-area CASA volunteer and mentor, who also served as the Friends' Board Vice President. Julie passed away unexpectedly in November 2024, but her legacy lives on in anyone who champions for children. Single tickets are $40 and include a ticket for food and t-shirt for the fun run, or make it a four-pack for $120!
