About The Event

In 2018, the Dragonfly Transplant Fund's Annual Golf Outing began. We hosted 38 golfers and raised $5,500. Through this annual fundraising tradition, we have raised nearly $200,000 for the Dragonfly Transplant Fund with the University of Iowa Center for Advancement. 

We are thrilled to have celebrated our 6th year of this golf outing and showing our supporters the exciting projects we have been working on to support transplant nurses as well as patients, their families, and their caregivers at the UIHC Transplant Center. With your continued support, we are one step closer to our ultimate goal of creating a resource center and lounge for the transplant community at UIHC Transplant Center.
