University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital
Hello Friday! This week felt like forever but we finally made it and Im looking forward to tomorrow's experience and watching our boys live!
This week, like most I've been reading and watching Michigan content none stop. I simply can't stop reliving that feeling when the clock hit zeros last Saturday. A few stories that hit home were the none football related stories. Corum amazing gesture giving back to the community with NIL money. Jim Harbaugh in an interview said " blown away & " why am I not doing something like that" Then a few days later the story of Jim donating his bonus money back to employees. The story of Ohio state fans donating to Chad tough even after the loss was classy and incredible!
So here's where I'm going with all this. Iowa has one of the coolest traditions in football. In between the 3rd and 4th quarter the whole stadium waves at the kiddos at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children hospital. How freaking cool!
My wife and I have decided to steal a play out of ohio states play book and donate the score, win or lose to u of I children's hospital. Thought it would be neat if we could get more people to join in on a good cause!

If osu were REALLY generous, they'd have donated $42.27 instead of $27.42
/s
Kidding of course, but I'm in and I'll make my amount the larger score to the left of the decimal point. Of course, anticipating that it'll be Michigan's score providing that luxury.

What a sweet idea.
Meanwhile, don't forget UM's Mott Children's Hospital, and especially Chad Tough, a fund to commemorate Lloyd Carr's grandson who died young.

I agree with you that this is a fantastic in-game tradition and accept the challenge.
Great idea.

I thought they did that wave before the opening kick?
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:41 PM ^
I screwed that part up. I thought it was between the 3rd and 4th . It's after the 1st.
December 3rd, 2021 at 11:26 PM ^
I would have said between third and fourth also, so at least you have company.
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:37 PM ^
Or what if we all committed to donating Ms score to Iowa's hospital and Iowa's score to Chad Tough or Mott?
I'm in.
EDIT: great idea, OP.

Awesome idea. That's what we will do!
December 3rd, 2021 at 6:41 PM ^
Do they need donations more than Mott does?
Maybe donate to both hospitals?

I've always loved that instead of monetizing the airspace around Kinnick, they used it to make the Children's Hospital more special for the kids and families.

Great idea. Count me in!
