The Gerdin Charitable Foundation launched the Dreams Come True Fund in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which drastically delayed the ability of hundreds of kids across Iowa to receive their wishes. Collaborating with Make-A-Wish® Iowa, the Gerdin family is helping to ensure that kids and families across Iowa have their wishes funded!
