About the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas:
The Shrine Bowl began in 1937 based on the model of the East?West Shrine Game
that was played in San Francisco, but the game took on a new slant in the Carolinas.
Instead of being a college all?star game, it would become the nation’s first high
school football all?star game. The inaugural game in 1937, under the leadership of
former Charlotte Fire Chief Hendrix Palmer attracted 5,500 spectators, many of
whom paid one dollar to attend and raised $2,500 for the hospital. Since the first
game, over $77 million dollars have been raised for Shriners Hospitals. Visit

About the Game:
This year’s game will take place on December 17, 2016 at Gibbs Stadium on the
campus of Wofford College. The rivalry between the top senior high school football
players of North Carolina versus the best in class from South Carolina will renew for
the 80th time – the longest standing all?star game in America. General admission
