EAST-WEST SHRINE GAME FOOTBALL’S FINEST

Since 1925, some of football’s greatest athletes and coaches have contributed to the tradition of the East-West Shrine Game. The game continues to be an important football tradition, giving the top college players from the United States and Canada a chance to showcase their talents to NFL scouts and national television audiences. Players have the unique opportunity to advance their professional career in football, while helping raise awareness and support for Shriners Hospitals for Children.

PLAYERS’ HOSPITAL VISIT Since the very first East-West Shrine Game, players and coaches have visited the local Shriners Hospitals for Children during game week to meet the patients and learn about the importance of the game. Whether dancing to music, playing games or sharing stories with one another, the instant friendships that form between the patients and players is priceless.

THE STORY BEHIND THE LOGO

The official logo of the East-West Shrine Game was inspired by the 1974 player visit to the San Francisco Hospital (later relocated to Sacramento, California). During the visit, player Mike Esposito of Boston College took the hand of 2-year-old patient Nicole Worley-Urteaga, to comfort her. As the two walked the hallway, a special moment was captured. This compelling photograph is the idea behind our logo, representing our motto “more than just a game”.
