ICA, Shriners 50th IHS Shrine Football Game June 15

Bloomington, IL – The Illinois Coaches Association and the Shriners of Illinois will host the 50th annual Illinois High School Shrine Game on June 15 at Tucci Stadium on the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University.

Kick-off for the 50th annual game is scheduled for Saturday, June 17 at 11 a.m.  The pregame festivities will begin at the stadium starting at 10 a.m.  Ninety-two of the state’s best football players participate in this all-star game to raise money for Shriners Hospital for Children, the official philanthropy of Shriners International.
More information about scheduled events can be found at IL HS Shrine Game. Admission for this All Star Game is $10 and can be purchased at the gate.

Each year at the Shrine Game, two patients from the Shiners Hospital for Children are chosen to be the prince and princess. The princess is Lexi Fenton from Carlinville who is a patient at the Shriners Hospital in St. Louis. The prince is Caleb Majana from Skokie who is a patient at the Shriners Hospital in Chicago. The prince and princess are honorary representatives from each hospital that will benefit from the money raised through the game. Last year’s event raised nearly $17,000 that went directly to providing outstanding medical care for children at the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The goal is to create a fun and exciting environment for the players, families, Shrine kids, and Shriners and to make this a signature event for the Shriners of Illinois. The featured banquet speaker will be John Elder. John was an original member of the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association who help plan and start this event in 1975.
