Ladies Football Academy is big help for UI Children’s Hospital
The Iowa Hawkeyes Ladies Football Academy has raised a huge sum of money to be donated to the UI Children’s Hospital this past week. $188,519.12 to be exact. That’s an awesome amount of money to be put towards such a great cause.
This year's grand total $188,519.12 raised for UI Children's! What a wonderful day! Way to go Ladies! See you next year!

Yes, they even brought in TV’s, The Bachelor (Christ Soules), to help raise funds. This is just another great thing that Hawkeye Athletics helps sponsor, and proves that sports go beyond just on the field.
Congrats ladies! Hopefully next year makes just as much money for such a great cause.
