University Of Iowa Hospital & Clinics issued the following announcement.
Twelve current and former University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital patients are ready for the spotlight as the Kid Captain program returns for the 2021 Iowa Hawkeye football season.
This year marks the 12th season of the Kid Captain program, which started in 2009 as a partnership between UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital and the Iowa Hawkeyes to honor pediatric patients and celebrate their incredible stories. This year’s Kid Captains were selected from 257 nominations from three states for the 2020 season, which was later canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although the program is currently scheduled to continue as it has in the past, hospital administrators and infectious disease experts are actively monitoring the state’s current COVID status and may make adjustments to the program as needed.
All Kid Captains and their families will be invited to Kids Day at Kinnick Stadium on Aug. 14, 2021, for a special behind-the-scenes tour. Each child’s story will be highlighted during the football season.
