Twelve current and former University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital patients are ready to kick off fall as the Kid Captain program returns for the 2022 Iowa Hawkeye football season.
This year marks the 13th 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 288 nominations from four states.
We are so excited to share these incredible stories of strength and courage. These kids have such fierce determination and an undeniable strength of spirit. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to care for them all on their health care journey. We congratulate all of them on their selection to this year's Kid Captain team.
Pam Johnson-Carlson, chief administrative officer of UI Stead Family Children's Hospital
All Kid Captains and their families will be invited to Kids Day at Kinnick Stadium on Aug. 13, 2022, for a special behind-the-scenes tour. Each child's story will be highlighted during the football season.
Anjali Sahu, 6, Atkins and Dylan McGivern, 10, Dysart were among the honorees.
