Stead Family Children’s Hospital

We are proud to say we made a $50,000 gift to The University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital Department of Brain Tumor Research.  The funds will be utilized for genetic tumor testing, which helps Oncologists tailor treatments to give children the best possible outcomes. In addition, this money will be used to help grow their research department.  We are so happy to be giving back to the hospital that gave so much to our precious Reid and our family.
