According to Shriners Children’s, a gift of this significant size assures that a scoliosis patient, just like 2022 Honorary Captain, Malorie Bogle, can receive the needed spinal fusion surgery and the months of total care needed. Since 1974, The Kansas Shrine Bowl has donated $3.7 million to Shriners Children’s.
In addition to this historic contribution, the Kansas Shrine Bowl also provided programing for all-star athletes and musicians from across the state. With the support of Shriners, corporate partners, and participant fundraising, the Kansas Shrine Bowl was able to house, feed, transport, coach, train, and entertain 80 football players, 154 band participants, 189 cheerleaders, 16 patient ambassadors, and more than 30 camp staff for nearly a week. These camps and events continue to make a lasting impact on participants, ambassadors, and families, by showcasing the incredible work of Shriners Children’s.
