In 2017, the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital opened across the street from Kinnick Stadium, home to the University of Iowa Hawkeye football team. University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital has an outstanding view of the stadium and so in an effort to send some inspiration to the patients, Krista Young shared an idea on social media suggesting that they wave to the patients during each game. 

Guess what? The idea took off! At the end of the first quarter of each home game, 70,000+ fans, players, coaches and staff turn their attention to the hospital and wave to the patients. The patients wave back and for a minute these hospitalized children receive love, hope, encouragement, and connection.  A true moment of Hawkeye solidarity!

When it comes to putting smiles on patients’ faces at UISFCH last year, Holly’s Heart had an undefeated record. It’s time to kick off the 2024 season and we need your support again to provide our updated styles below, to UISFCH’s most valuable patients.

Last year, Holly's Heart was honored to deliver inaugural Iowa inspired hospital gown replacements to UISFCH. Not only were their patients clothed with love but they had the benefit of the patented design and the opportunity to get game-day ready just like the crowd below them. 

It’s time to kick off the 2024 season and we need your support again to provide our updated styles to UISFCH’s most valuable patients.
