The most important thing about Bob is his love for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Bob’s mom bought him a season pass to the Hawkeyes basketball games. She took him for several years until it was too hard for her to get him there. Bob is always keeping everyone in the community informed on who won the basketball games. He gives a big thumbs down and boo when they lose!
Assistant Manager Lori sent some emails to see what kind of Dare to Dream we could put together for Bob. We threw a Hawkeyes themed party featuring a special guest. Bob’s family flew in from Arizona to surprise Bob at his party! Bob’s family walked him down the hallway to find Cheerleader’s lining the hallway to welcome him to the party. The cheerleaders were from Dance-A-Cross in Des Moines and performed for Bob and the Riverwoods Residents.
Next for entertainment was the African Dance Tribe. Two of our employees and their drummer performed their African dances. Last of all Bob’s special guest was Al Lorenzen who was a1980’s basketball player for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Al presented an Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball to Bob signed by the current Iowa Hawkeyes Team and Al. Al stuck around for the party, snacks, and even signed autographs. Our residents and 50+ guests enjoyed cake, tailgating food, and drinks to help Bob celebrate the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Bob left the party with his new Iowa Hawkeyes shirt, hat, his signed basketball and a new man cave sign for his apartment.
