A portion of the proceeds from food and beverage sales during the Fill the Fund event will be donated to the Ankeny Community School District. In the past, the funds have been used to replenish negative school lunch balances throughout the district. School lunches have been free since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; therefore, funds raised from Fill the Fund will be used to recognize and honor the Ankeny School District’s teachers.
The Wiedenman Family Foundation, a 501c3 tax exempt, non-profit organization was formed to undertake projects that will enhance Ankeny and the surrounding communities.
