The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union is grateful to its partner organizations for their investment in and commitment to student-athletes and communities across the state of Iowa. This featured blog series will highlight our partners and showcase why they invest in the IGHSAU, how they are supporting Iowans during this difficult time and words of encouragement for the Iowa Girl. We will also share ways in which you, the reader, can in turn support these businesses and organizations in return as a way thank them for their investment in the IGHSAU.

Why does Iowa Central support the IGHSAU and the Iowa Girl?

We feel it is important to support high school athletics as these student athletes are our future. We see that athletics help students in building leadership skills.

How is Iowa Central supporting Iowa communities during this time?

Our Mechanical Maintenance program has designed and built protective shields for Front Line Works who are short of PPE. We partnered with the Iowa Prisons and Iowa Prison Industries to be a collection point for local community members to pick up the components to sew hospital gowns for healthcare workers.

What else should the IGHSAU community know about Iowa Central?

We love to partner with the IGHSAU, especially on State Softball. We believe this is one of the strongest partnerships we have to support Women's Athletics!

How can the IGHSAU community support Iowa Central?

Continue to support athletics!
