The Bird House includes Hawkeyes! 💛🖤

Thank you to these Iowa Coaches for their support of The Bird House! We were honored to care for their dear friend Dr. Christine Grant in her final days. Her legacy lives on in all of them!

See what Lisa Cellucci (UIowa Field Hockey), Jan Jensen (UIowa Women’s Basketball), and Sasha Boros (UIowa Women’s Tennis) have to say about The Bird House!

Spring cleaning at The Bird House wouldn’t take place without awesome community groups, particularly Women With Hammers! 🔨💜

Hard work was done to keep the property tidy for guests and their families, and we appreciate all of these helpful individuals immensely!
