The Gophers hosted their annual “Row The Boat Turkey Drive” on Tuesday evening to benefit families in the local Twin Cities community. Players helped fund and organize the event along with Minnesota coaches and support staff. Families drove through a line near the Jackson County entrance of TCF Bank Stadium as players passed out hot chocolate to each person.
Head coach P.J. Fleck and his wife, Heather, were at the intersection directing vehicles as a group of players passed out Thanksgiving meals. The event helped support nine different local organizations scattered throughout the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul community.
Every year, the players look forward to this event to help give back to families in the Twin Citiea area.
