Do you know someone who would make a great Kid Captain?

Since 2009, Kid Captain has been a partnership between UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital and the Iowa Hawkeyes, featuring stories of strength, courage, and inspiration. If your child has a life-changing story, consider nominating them for the 2019 Kid Captain program.

Nominations are open until Sunday, March 17, for current or former pediatric patients of UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital ages 18 and younger. Only parents and legal guardians can nominate their child.

All Kid Captains will receive a commemorative jersey, special recognition from UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital and the Iowa Hawkeyes, and an invitation to a special behind-the-scenes tour of Kinnick Stadium in August.

Children of any age may be nominated as an honorary (away game) Kid Captain. Due to sideline safety concerns, only children who will be 6 or older by November 2019 may be nominated as a home game Kid Captain.
