Nominations open for Stead Family Children’s Hospital’s 2025 Kid Captain program
Do you know someone who would make a great Kid Captain?
Since 2009, Kid Captain has been a partnership between University of Iowa Health Care 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 2025 Kid Captain program.
Nominations are open until Friday, March 7, for current or former pediatric patients of Stead Family Children’s Hospital ages 18 and younger. Only parents and legal guardians may nominate their child.
All Kid Captains will receive a commemorative jersey, special recognition from Stead Family Children’s Hospital and the Iowa Hawkeyes, and an invitation to a special behind-the-scenes tour of Kinnick Stadium in August.
Parents may nominate their child as an honorary (away game) Kid Captain. Due to sideline safety concerns, only children who will be 6 or older by November 2025 may be nominated as a home game Kid Captain.
