My friends and I attend a different college football game every year, and this coming season we are attending the Iowa vs. Iowa State (the Cy-Hawk rivalry) game on 9/8/18.  We would like raise money to donate to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital.  One of the great feel-good stories in college sports is the connection made between the Iowa football fans and the children who can watch the games from the windows of the hospital overlooking Kinnick Stadium.  John, Nick, and I feel very lucky to have our health and the ability to travel every year, and we want to give back to children who are dealt the unfortunate hand of having to fight for their lives on a daily basis.  Our hope is that the money we raise will support research at the hospital, and help ensure that UI pediatric patients and their families receive the top-quality care and services for which they so deeply deserve. Please help us give a sizable, charitable donation to the Children's Hospital in Iowa City, and make our annual football trip more meaningful and memorable than ever. 

This video helps paint a picture of just how meaningful the connection is between the crowds at the football games and the children in the Stead Family Children’s Hospital (best to have some tissues on hand before watching):

Thanks so much for considering this worthy cause.
