Pat McAfee donates $1M to Iowa Children's Hospital after fan's miss

Pat McAfee announced on Monday’s episode of *The Pat McAfee Show* that he will donate $1 million to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

The donation honors the original $1,000,000 at stake in Iowa student Finley’s field goal attempts. After Finley missed both kicks, former Iowa star Dallas Clark threw the ball through the uprights for $150,000, which McAfee had already matched.

“A lot of people are like coming after me a little bit for not doing the donation,” McAfee said. “And I think those people were pretty right. It didn’t feel right after, uh, I was kind of thinking about it. We’ll donate $1 million to that children’s hospital. I would like to be a part of the help for them.”

The exact timeline of when the donation will be made is not specified in the source.

THE FIELD GOAL CHALLENGE

Finley, an Iowa student, won a raffle to attempt a field goal for a $1,000,000 prize.

Her first try came while wearing Ugg slippers, and she missed most of the ball. After losing the slippers and getting a running start, her second attempt fell just short of the uprights.

Former Iowa football star and NFL tight end Dallas Clark then stepped in and threw the ball through the uprights. That effort secured Finley $150,000, which McAfee matched in donations to the children’s hospital.
