2026 Bourbon, Bubbly & Bowties

Join us for a fun night of networking with professionals and community leaders while enjoying after-hours access to the historic West End Architectural Salvage as we raise awareness and funds to benefit Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) and Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) treatments and research to find a cure.

This bowtie/hair bow-encouraged, business causal event includes a souvenir glass, bourbon, cocktail and craft beer tastings courtesy of local distillers and brewers, heavy appetizers, and live music. We have also added a new spirit to the event, bubbly! This is an amazing opportunity to meet and network with other professionals in the Greater Des Moines Area while supporting a great cause - Breakthrough T1D! A silent auction will include great items from event partners and supporters.

• Date/Time: Thursday, February 5th, 2026 from 5:00pm to 8:00pm

Additional notes – All aged 21+ are welcome to attend. Bourbon, Bubbly & Bowties is a 3rd party event to benefit Breakthrough T1D. All net proceeds are for the benefit of Breakthrough T1D.
