Would you pay $1 to put the Hawkeyes in the endzone?

Then why not $1 for the kids at UI Children's Hospital for every touchdown the Hawks score?

At every game watch this season we'll pass out forms for you to pledge at least $1 for Iowa Touchdowns For Kids. We'll gather the forms after the 3rd quarter and mail them in for you. We'll also keep track of the total dollars pledged by the WWIC. Last year Iowa scored 45 touchdowns; with over 1,300 pledges and more than 30 sponsors, Iowa Touchdowns for Kids raised nearly $180,000 for UI Children's Hospital.

Thanks - GO HAWKS! (ya know, for the kids)

Game Watch Week 2: Iowa State

Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0, 0-0) @ Iowa State Cyclones (1-0, 0-0)
Saturday, September 10th, 9:00am kickoff PST
TV: Fox Sports/ROOT Sports (check your provider/package for confirmation if you can't make it to Buckley's)

Come join the WWIC at Buckley's On Queen Anne to watch the Hawkeyes travel to Ames to take on the Cyclones. Over 100 Hawk fans attended the first game watch of the season, when Iowa played a no-name opponent, on a beautiful holiday weekend - an impressive turnout. Thanks everyone! This Saturday should be a completely full house of black & gold. Remember that Buckley's expanded last fall and we've got lots more tables and TVs.

Saturday's game will mark the 59th game in the series. Iowa holds a 39-19 overall advantage, and they have also won 21 of the last 28 meetings, including the last three games.

Both teams are 1-0 after Week 1 where Iowa defeated Tenn. Tech in monsoon-like conditions and Iowa State squeaked out a victory in the final minute versus Northern Iowa.

Buckley's on Queen Anne Increases Occupancy!

Great news! Buckley's has taken over the space next door, previously a little Italian restaurant. This means more seats & tables & tvs (including a massive 124" HD projector) for all of you that've had to find a place to stand during a game watch, or chose not to come enjoy the Buckley's game day environment because of the big crowds, or didn't want to come to the pub 2 hours early... whatever the reason, now there's yet another reason to come watch the Hawks with your people.

Iowa Touchdowns For Kids - UI Children's Hospital Fundraiser

For every touchdown scored this season by the Hawks, you can pledge as little as $1 per TD and it goes to help the UI Children's Hospital and their patients. Head to this website for more info and download the pledge form. Please send your completed form back to the hospital and note that you're with the Western Washington Iowa Club so we can keep a tally of our donation total - write it on the line that says "How did you hear about this".

Last year Iowa scored 32 touchdowns. Think you could find $32 in your heart for the kids? Hmm?

Thanks gang, and GO HAWKS!
