Franklin Event Center

Locker Wars is Project Iowa’s signature fall fundraiser and a playful twist on the hit TV show Storage Wars. It’s an evening of mystery lockers, friendly competition, food, drinks, Bingo, candy table, and plenty of surprises all in support of Project Iowa’s mission of helping individuals connect to purpose and pursue meaningful, stable employment.
How it Works Guests purchase chances to win mystery lockers filled with gift cards, experiences, event tickets, home goods, sports memorabilia, unique finds, and a few fun surprises. We won’t leave you completely in the dark! You’ll get a list of all the items up for grabs. The mystery is figuring out which locker holds what. Pick your lockers, test your luck, and have some fun. Whether you walk away with a treasure or simply a great story, every chance you take helps connect Iowans to purpose, opportunity, and meaningful, stable employment.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/162023/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets &amp;&nbsp;More Info</a>
