Alumni

We are looking for the players, coaches, & officials in the games of 1957, 1962, 1972, 1987, & 2002. We will be showcasing these alumni in the parade and at half-time. Please contact us, if you have not received a mailing within the last 30 days.

If you have played, coached, or been a part of this game in any of the preceding years and are not hearing from us on a regular basis, please contact us to make sure we have a correct address for you.

The Alumni Association was formed on Friday, August 8, 1980 the eve of the 27th Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Game. The Alumni Association was formed to:

1. Serve as Area Chairman for advertising and ticket sales in communities where there are no active Shriners or assist Shriners who work in these areas.

2. Participate on Game Day as ticket takers, ticket sellers, ushers or on stadium security.

3. Help with promotion of the game through distribution of posters and through contact with the media.

4. Help with the Shrine Bowl Golf Tournament held the week before the football game.

It was also voted that dues should be collected in order to help defray expenses such as mailing. The amount of dues was set at $2.00 per year. This was later changed and is still $3.00 per year.

As a former participant with an understanding of what the game means, if you would like to help in any of these areas or have other thoughts, we urge you to contact us.

Remember that every year we are requesting the 10th, 25th, 40th, 50th aqnd 55th game participants to join us for the parade at 12 Noon and to be introduced at the game half-time . August of 2012 will be the years of 1957, 1962, 1972, 1987 and 2002. Make plans now to join the players of 2011 in putting a smile on a child.

If you are not receiving our mailings, it is because we do not have a proper address for you, and would be very glad to hear from you with your current address.
