They say Friday the 13th is unlucky… we disagree! ☘️

In fact, we think it’s the perfect day to spark new connections and celebrate the amazing fundraising and nonprofit work happening across the Quad Cities.

Join AFP for a relaxed, come‑as‑you‑are social designed for fundraisers of all experience levels—whether you’re brand‑new to the profession, a seasoned development pro, or simply curious about what AFP is all about. This casual gathering is an easy, low‑pressure way to meet colleagues, exchange stories from the field, and grow your network in a welcoming, inclusive environment.

We’ll provide appetizers and one complimentary drink ticket to get the conversations flowing. All you need to do is show up, enjoy, and connect!

Registration is free, but we encourage RSVPs so we can plan food and space accordingly. Bring a friend, a coworker, or just yourself—we can’t wait to see you there!
