Limited VolunteerOn September 2, 2017, nearly 70,000 people stood together and waved for the first time to the children at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital (“UISFCH”). The day marked the beginning of a legacy that embodies altruism, hope and philanthropy – values intrinsic to the Hawkeye community. Like so many, we were moved each time we saw The Wave and while simple, decided to create a shirt to celebrate it and raise money for the kids at the hospital.
Hawkeye fans, friends of UISFCH and generous hearts across our country came together in a resounding manner. During the first four seasons of The Wave, thousands of supporters came together to purchase Iowa Wave Shirt merchandise and demonstrate that together, we can accomplish more and make a difference in the lives of the children that are treated at UISFCH. Whether they were at Hawkeye football home games, sharing posts on social media, or wearing The Iowa Wave Shirt on vacation, the community stood to demonstrate that Iowa City Fights Together®.
