About
As Shriners everything we do is driven by a singular belief: together we can positively impact the lives of those around us. We work within ourselves and our families, and our surrounding communities to improve ourselves and the world around us. The Shrine Bowl of Nebraska is a natural extension of those efforts and deeply held beliefs. By promoting the best high school athletic talent from around Nebraska and donating the proceeds of the bowl game event to the Shriners Hospital for Children, we are working within our state to inspire and support the future of our communities, our children.
Support the children. Change the world.
