In 1895, Crittenton Center (Florence Crittenton Home) opened its doors with a single mission: to serve vulnerable children, individuals, and families with compassion, care, and hope. One hundred and thirty years later, that mission is alive and thriving- and now, we're inviting YOU to be part of the celebration.
Introducing our 130th Anniversary Celebration- a Gatsby-era, speakeasy-style soiree that celebrates where we've come from, who we are today, and the exciting future we're building together.
What's in Store?
While full event details are still under wraps, we can promise an evening of excitement, music, and meaningful impact. Think jazz, glamour, hidden doors, and surprises around every corner. There will be robust entertainment, live and silent auctions filled with one-of-a-kind items and experiences, and all the glitz of the Roaring 20's- with a mission- driven purpose at the center of it all.
Why Gatsby?
The Gatsby era was one of reinvention, ambition, and bold dreams- values that mirror Crittenton Center's journey since 1895. We've evolved, adapted, and expanded our services, always keeping the well-being of Iowa's children and families at heart. Our 130th celebration isn't just a party- it's a toast to resilience, to legacy, and to what's next.
