Brad Powers is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Dark Sky Foundation Inc.

Tax deductible

We are raising funds to support homeless veterans in central Iowa. We are partnered with Stand Down Des Moines, and we will have a fundraiser on June 28 with the NOLA Jazz Band, a free barbecue dinner, and a fireworks show.

Our 6th Blastoff will start at 6:30 PM on Saturday, June 28. Over the past years, we have raised more than $8,000 to support homeless veterans in Central Iowa. Bring a lawn chair and enjoy the evening—starting with the great music of NOLA Jazz Band and finishing with a fireworks show at dusk that will fill the sky to honor our veterans.
