MercyOne Des Moines Foundation hosts and participates in several events throughout the year. 

Upcoming Events:

Cancer Education Series: MercyOne Des Moines Cancer Center offers a weekly educational series specifically for cancer patients and survivors to address cancer issues and their impact on various aspects of everyday living. Topics change weekly so check back with us often. These meetings are available in person and online.

MercyOne House of Mercy Game Show Gala: This fun-spirited game show-style fundraiser, produced by MercyOne Des Moines Foundation, supports MercyOne House of Mercy, one of Iowa’s largest and most comprehensive providers of vital services for persons with substance use disorders, especially parenting women with children. The 2022 Game Show Gala will be held Thursday, June 16, 2022 in the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center. 

Instruments of Mercy: MercyOne Des Moines Foundation’s biannual Instruments of Mercy event is a time for us to recognize and honor our most generous long-time donors at $100,000 Builders’ Level and above and inducting our $500,000 Gilead donors. 

Bailey Kathrine Bryant Memorial Golf Outing: The Bailey Katherine Bryant (BKB) Memorial Golf Outing was created by Steve and Kimberly Bryant in 2004 as a way to remember their daughter and support MercyOne Children's Hospital. To date, this golf outing has raised more than $233,000, which has funded car seats for underweight babies served in the NICU, called "Bailey Seats," a NATUS Hearing Machine and an Arctic Cooling Blanket. 

Donor Events: Throughout the year, we host events for our donors to foster a community of philanthropy among our providers and philanthropists.

Retiree Luncheon: Annually, we recognize our MercyOne Des Moines retirees through an annual luncheon to celebrate their service and philanthropy.
