  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 2, 2017
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 2, 2017 Ronnie Lester will Host Event for Kenny Arnold Foundation During Labor Day Weekend; Fans Have a Chance to Meet the Stars of Iowa’s 1980 Final Four Team IOWA CITY, IA – Ronnie Lester, widely regarded as the best basketball player in Hawkeye history, will be making one of his all-time greatest assists this Labor Day weekend in Iowa City. Lester, along with almost the entire 1980 Final Four basketball team, will be accessible to Hawk fans at a special fundraising event in Iowa City in support of the Kenny Arnold Foundation. Kenny Arnold, who led that Hawkeye team in points and assists, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 1984 and has been fighting health issues ever since. The brain tumor and several subsequent strokes have limited Arnold’s mobility, robbed him of his ability to speak and left him in a state of chronic pain. Arnold’s former Iowa teammates and coaches, and the entire Hawkeye Basketball Family, have stayed in contact with Arnold throughout his medical and financial challenges. Today, Arnold’s Hawkeye Basketball Family – his “Teammates For Life” – have dedicated their efforts to provide support for Arnold and others in need through this foundation. “We know that what happened to Kenny could happen to any of us,” said Lester, a Hawkeye All- American on Iowa’s 1979 Big Ten championship team. “All the guys have rallied around him and I’m so proud of my teammates for that. Kenny is very appreciative of all the love and support that his teammates and the Iowa fans have shown him.” Meet and Greet at the Marriott Hotel The event will be a “Meet and Greet” on Friday, September 1 at the Marriott Hotel in Coralville from 7 p.m.
