FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
North Dakota Shrine Bowl Set for June 20, 2026, at Mayville State University
Mayville, N.D. — The North Dakota Shrine Bowl All-Star Game, established in 1974, continues its proud tradition of combining athletic excellence with community impact. The event was founded with three key goals:
1. Honoring outstanding student-athletes — recognizing high school football players who have demonstrated both exceptional skill on the field and exemplary character off it.
2. Supporting Shriners Children’s — raising awareness and funds for Shriners Children’s, which currently serves more than 400 pediatric patients from North Dakota and western Minnesota. These hospitals provide world-class care in orthopedics, burn treatment, spinal cord injury, and craniofacial conditions—regardless of a family’s ability to pay.
3. Educating the public — sharing the mission of Shriners International to ensure more children and families can access the life-changing care they provide.
The 2026 North Dakota Shrine Bowl will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at Jerome Berg Field on the campus of Mayville State University. The 9-Man Game kicks off at 3:00 p.m., followed by the 11-Man Game at 6:00 p.m.
All Shrine Bowl events will be held at Mayville State University. Camp week begins with player check-in on Tuesday, June 16, followed by Shriners Media & Patient Ambassador Day on Thursday, June 18, from noon to 2:30 p.m. The week concludes with the Awards Banquet and both All-Star Games on Saturday, June 20.
The North Dakota Shrine Bowl celebrates not only athletic achievement but also the spirit of service and compassion that defines Shriners everywhere. Congratulations to all the players selected to participate in the 2026 North Dakota Shrine Bowl!
Sincerely,
Jason Kaufman | Chairman
