Gary Dolphin hosts a discussion with Hawkeye legends about giving back and the impact of their athletic careers.

This week on the  Fight for Iowa  podcast, Gary Dolphin takes you to Okoboji for the Boji Legends Golf Tournament, where Hawkeye greats reunited to support two incredible causes. Chuck Long reflects on the impact of giving back, the friendships that continue decades after Iowa's unforgettable 1985 Big Ten championship season, and why supporting children with disabilities remains one of his life's greatest passions. Former Hawkeye offensive lineman Kelly O'Brien looks back on blocking for one of the greatest offenses in Iowa football history and explains why these annual reunions are a true "fountain of youth." Former Iowa basketball standout Zach McCabe discusses the lifelong relationships built during his Hawkeye career, the lessons he carried into the business world, and life after basketball as a successful entrepreneur. Happy Fourth of July, and thank you for listening to the  Fight for Iowa  podcast. Go Hawks!
