Cedar Falls Iowa — Coming up in July a group of Iowa’s most talented pre-college football players will line up across from each other in the UNI Dome for the 45th Annual Iowa Shrine Bowl. 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.
Northwest Iowa Football District graduates on this years roster include Dylan Holst of Spencer, Daniel Bishop of Hinton, Giovanni Esteves of Estherville-Lincoln Central, Ben Lingenfelter of Cherokee, Caden Fenchel of Western Christian and Kobe Lutjens of Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley.
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 game brings honor and recognition to the players, their schools and their communities. It has also been an effective tool in raising money for The Shriner’s Hospital For Children.
To date, the Iowa Shrine Bowl has raised over $2,268,000 for The Shriner’s Hospitals for Children. Funds for The Shriner’s Hospitals For Children are developed by ticket sales, advertising in the Shrine Bowl program, merchandise sales, contributions and sponsorships.
