2025 Pizza, Puzzles &
Pints Recap
Our first Pizza, Puzzles & Pints event was a huge success — selling out in just 24 hours with 21 teams competing. Thanks to your amazing support, we raised nearly $8,000 and proudly donated $4,000 to Alive & Running Iowa for suicide prevention efforts.
We’re incredibly grateful for all of the generous local and national donations to our silent auction, as well as the support from our event sponsors who made the night possible.
