IOWA CITY - $30-thousand was a lofty goal for disaster relief volunteers on the University of Iowa's second game day. But slowly, the money started to add up around Kinnick Stadium.

Volunteers asked fans for a dollar each at this weekend's game against Florida International. Freshman Jeremy Ohrt was among those helping out. He lived through the tornado that hit his hometown, Parkersburg this spring.

Ohrt says, "The school was completely destroyed. Everything was messed up in it. My house, I lost my house."

All donations received will go to the Zach Johnson Disaster Relief Exhibition this Friday at Finkbine Golf Course. The money from that event will go to Iowa's 2008 Disaster Relief Fund.
