Iowa
Shrine Bowl, Inc is an incorporated 501(c)3 fundraising
organization. All profits from operations are sent to
Shriners Hospital For Children. The principle fundraising
event of Iowa Shrine Bowl, Inc is the Iowa Shrine Bowl
Game.
The Iowa Shrine
Bowl Game is an all-star football game between
selected
pre-college football athletes on each side of a north-south dividing line in Iowa.
The players are
selected by a process of nomination by coaches,
balloting by state-wide sports media
professionals, and official invitation from a
representative of the Iowa Shrine Bowl.
The
Iowa Shrine Bowl produces this game each year.
The game brings honor and recognition to the
players, their schools and their
communities. It has also been an effective tool in
raising money for Shriners Hospital For
Children.
The
2009 game will be the 37th
Annual Iowa Shrine Bowl Game. To
date, the Iowa Shrine Bowl has
raised over $2,000,000 for the Shriners
Hospitals for Children. Funds for
Shriners Hospital For Children are developed by
ticket sales, advertising in the Shrine Bowl
program, merchandise sales, contributions and
sponsorships.
