University of Minnesota head football coach P.J. Fleck and his family were on hand today at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital as a Row The Boat wall was unveiled at the world-class facility.

Fleck was introduced by Abe Jacob, MD, MHA, Chief Medical Officer of University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital. Minnesota's second-year coach then spoke about the importance of Masonic Children's Hospital, the team's involvement with the hospital and the new wall. The graphic tells the history of Row The Boat, which is a never-give-up mantra and lifestyle.

Coach Fleck and members of the University of Minnesota football team can routinely be found at Masonic Children's Hospital, lifting the spirits of patients and visiting with the amazing staff on campus.

One player who has spent more time at the hospital than anyone else is Minnesota's holder Casey O'Brien. The Minnesota native has spent countless nights there battling and beating cancer prior to joining the team and as a member of the team. O'Brien helped Fleck and his family unveil the new wall.

After the Row The Boat wall was unveiled, the entire Minnesota football team participated in the Row The Boat BBQ at the hospital from 4 – 6 p.m. The event featured food, lawn games, a DJ, and fun giveaways, including tickets to a Gopher football game for patients and families.
