Blake told us his story and shared the great news he is cancer free!! What a tough kid and proud he is now sporting a Van Hayden hat. He is taking guitar lessons so maybe he would join us at an upcoming game??!! Keep practicing my dude 🔥🎸🔥
Not the outcome we wanted but I had a blast fundraising for #HelloFromTheOtherSide. 79 former cancer patients and their families will get to go to next week’s game free of charge.
Thank you @HawkeyeElvis and @DavidEickholt for getting the word out!!
Almost 2 years later, over half a million dollars raised for mental health awareness and families dealing with pediatric cancer..this stands as the coolest compliment ever.

Calling All @TheIowaHawkeyes Tailgaters!! We purchased 450 tickets to the 9/14 Gold Out Game for former Stead Family Children’s Hospital patients and their families. Looking for tailgates the families could stop by before the game.
Cheers🍻

@cdejean23 Proud of you @cdejean23 for getting drafted and can’t wait to follow your career. And big props on the #TeamBlake wristband. Keep it up boss!! Excited for what’s to come for you!!
This kid continues to inspire everyone he meets. I’m in complete awe of his heart, humor and passion for making sure kids with pediatric cancer have treatment options that keep them home more and in hospitals less. And this kid is most definitely STANDING ON BUSINESS!!
Had a great day fundraising for the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital! Thank you to @itsajefference for being the voice of the group! Blake here is a hero to us! Blake’s passion to help kids stay at home is amazing! #TeamBlake
@HawkeyeElvis Thank you for taking a picture with my dad and I. I was thankful to share last week’s Hawk game with him. Thank you for all you do. Until we meet again. Happy Thanksgiving!
