Alabama and Georgia face off tonight in the National Championship Game. The Iowa Hawkeyes aren’t in tonight’s game, but they should be recognized for what they did this season. What they did for others. Watch this story from ESPN and see how their waves of hope helped children in need.
Good luck to Alabama and Georgia! And many thanks to the Hawkeyes for this Story of Joy!

Great inaugural story showing 70,000 people displaying compassion and best wishes to sick kids. Proud to be a Hawkeye!

I am a very proud University of Iowa alum and the company I work for (Gilbane) managed the construction of the new UI Children’s Hospital. I was able to tour the hospital a few months before it opened and got to see the view from the top that overlooks the football stadium. Although I realize I may be a bit biased, I LOVE this Story of Joy and I am so glad you chose to start this series highlighting it. Can’t wait for the next one.

I love this story. I’m aware of a similar gesture of love and hope at the Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, RI (my home state). At 8:30pm each evening, businesses, Brown University, restaurant patrons, river tug boats, police cars, and others, blink their lights to say goodnight to the kids who are in the hospital. https://www.hasbrochildrenshospital.org/good-night-lights
