The Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl is played for the benefit of the Shriners Hospitals for Crippled and Burned Children and in its first 66 years has raised nearly five million dollars. The Bowl Game is one of 30 Shrine Games played every year across the country. This twin state game is sponsored by the two Shrine Centers of Vermont, Cairo (Rutland) and Mt. Sinai (Montpelier).

The Clarks are cousins and their dads are brothers. It should be a great day for the Clarks and all of our local players and their families and friends.
