The Iowa Beef Industry Council, Iowa Cattlemen’s Association, and Office of the Governor of Iowa are gearing up for the 40th anniversary of the Iowa Governor’s Charity Steer Show (GCSS). This year, we strive to raise $400,000 for the 40th anniversary. All proceeds benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Iowa, with houses in Des Moines, Iowa City, and Sioux City.
“During the 39th annual Iowa Governor’s Charity Steer Show, we raised more than $375,000,” Tanner Lawton, Iowa GCSS Co-chair said. “To date, we have raised $4.5 million for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Iowa. This year, we hope to reach new heights and raise $400,000 for the 40th anniversary. Chances are, you know a family who has utilized the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Iowa. The Iowa Governor’s Charity Steer Show helps support Iowa families during their time of need, and we hope you will join us in supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Iowa by attending this year’s show, slated for 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 13.”
