About the Changemakers Event

The 12th Annual Changemakers Event, presented by University of Iowa Health Care, was an incredible success! Our hearts are full as we reflect on the amazing turnout, the infectious excitement, and the generosity expressed by attendees. Thank you to each and every person who attended, whether in person or virtually. With your support, this year’s event raised nearly $300,000 to advance our mission to prevent stillbirths through the Count the Kicks program.

We’re grateful to Josephs Jewelers for returning for the fourth year to host a giveaway at the Changemakers Event. Congrats to this year’s lucky winner who unwrapped a golden ticket worth a $1,500 jewelry purchase at Josephs!
