Farm Bureau Financial Services, an insurance and financial services organization headquartered in West Des Moines, has a 15-year tradition of supporting Special Olympics Iowa. Sponsorships include Gold Medal-level of the Special Olympics Iowa Capital Campaign, Statewide Partner, and financial sponsorship of the Developmental Sports venue at the Summer Games. Farm Bureau Financial Services also hosts an annual Unified Sports event at their facility.

Perhaps the greatest contribution Farm Bureau Financial Services makes to Special Olympics Iowa is through volunteering. Employees Gary Harms and Jim Noyce serve on the Board of Directors for Special Olympics Iowa. In addition, every year more than 60 employees help to register athletes, get them to their places, time and score events, record and announce winners, and present medals in the Developmental Sports venue at the Summer Games.

The energy and enthusiasm, as well as the organizational skills provided by Farm Bureau Financial Services volunteers, help make the events run smoothly. And most importantly, because of volunteers, the athletes hear their names announced, are cheered and congratulated, all helping to create wonderful, life-long memories for these special athletes.

Through an exclusive agency force the affiliated companies underwrite, market and distribute a broad range of financial services products, including life insurance, annuities, property-casualty insurance products and more, to individuals and small businesses within a marketing territory that includes 15 states.
