Impact Testimonials
“This organization is so special and really helps local families when a curveball strikes. They showed up unexpectedly when my daughter was diagnosed with Type One diabetes and I will never forget that. We were so surprised and thankful and it really helped us keep our Dobber Up during such a scary time!”

Impact Testimonials
“I spent most of my career as a School Counselor at Indianola High School. Dobbers Up has been a wonderful resource for our students and all the youth of our community. Annually Dobbers Up awards a deserving graduate a scholarship. This graduate reflects the values of this organization. All recipients have faced adversity with the attitude of keeping their Dobbers Up. They have supported our youth by sponsoring guest speakers in our school which promote positive lifestyles. Dobbers Up is an organization that puts our youth first!”
