Boys & Girls Clubs of the Corridor tours Kinnick Stadium
UScellular donated $30,000 to the Boys & Girls Club to provide educational opportunities and experiences to local youth
IOWA CITY -- Boys & Girls Clubs of the Corridor had a unique opportunity last week to experience an inside look at Iowa football.
Kids toured Kinnick Stadium, including the control room and press box, and learned about cellphone connectivity on game day from a UScellular engineer.
Earlier this year, UScellular donated $30,000 to the Boys & Girls Club to provide educational opportunities and experiences to local youth.
The company invested in the club to support K12 science, technology, engineering and math (STEM and academic enrichment programs. The funding supported the club to ensure all six locations have a computer lab, so they can offer weekly STEM activities.
