Every dollar goes to the research programs. No exceptions.
You do not have to ride to help. Give online, mail a check, or donate something for the auction. All of it lands in the same place: pediatric brain tumor and heart defect research at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital.
Give online
Through the University of Iowa Center for Advancement, straight into the research fund. Card or bank transfer, one time or monthly. They send the receipt.

The silent and live auctions are a big chunk of every year’s total. Tools, tickets, quilts, gift cards, smokers, services: it all sells.

About tax deductions
Gifts through the University of Iowa Center for Advancement are tax-deductible to the extent the law allows.
Registration fees, raffle tickets and auction purchases are not deductible charitable contributions, because you receive something in return. If you need documentation for a gift, ask and we will sort it out.
What your money does
It buys research time on two problems that take kids from families in this county.
- 100% of proceeds go to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital
- Earmarked for brain tumor and heart defect research
- Presented as one check every fall, with the total announced on stage
- The committee takes nothing. Nobody here is paid.
