In a recent interview, actor Dwier Brown shared that he found himself living in his car while trying to get established in Hollywood. 

That certainly isn't a unique story for many struggling young actors. Still, he points out that many people are vulnerable no matter who they are or what rung they might be on life's ladder.

It's typically accepted that society has no guarantees, with many people living on the margins or, worse, left to fend for basic survival.

Dwier Brown's WJOD Interview

Brown played John Kinsella, the father of Kevin Costner's character in the film Field of Dreams. In the movie, John Kinsella gets the chance to heal his relationship with his son. Brown believes many Dads deserve a second chance in relationships and life.

Dwier Brown's highly acclaimed bestseller, If You Build It...is about fathers, fate, and his role in Field of Dreams. The book expands on the notion that life can throw a curveball, no matter our perceived purpose, hope, or dreams. Yet, a second chance remains within our capacity to heal and move forward.

So that's why Dwier Brown supports the nonprofit Almost Home at St. John's Lutheran Church in Dubuque. It's about giving homeless fathers with children a chance to stabilize their lives and build strong, lasting bonds with their kids.

The Party on Purpose is an annual fundraiser event to support Almost Home and its mission to put homeless fathers with kids back on the path to a stable situation and safe shelter. 

Along with several area businesses, Dwier Brown has contributed silent auction items that may be bid on at the event.

While the issue of homelessness can feel heavy, the fundraiser is a genuine Party on Purpose. So, come and enjoy live music, food trucks, and the silent auction.
