Fundraising for the WFCA Shrine Bowl

Student Reporter: Mariah Keller



Josh Peterson and Brandon Garcia have recently been chosen to participate in the WFCA (Wisconsin Football Coaches Association) Shrine Bowl. The WFCA Shrine Bowl is a game suitable for senior football players who excelled in their respective final season of high school football. This event is a great way to honor the players’ success as well as fundraise for the Children’s Hospital.


Cedar Grove-Belgium has only seen one other Shrine Bowl Participant in 2004 after Kyle Voskuil led the state in touchdowns scored. Both Brandon and Josh received Honorable Mention All-State after the Rockets placed second at state.


Fundraising is required to participate in the Shrine Bowl and it not only helps the All-Stars, but it also benefits the Children’s Hospital. The WFCA Shrine Bowl is a huge contributor to the Children’s Hospital and last year raised over $150,000. It is the players’ goal and responsibility to raise more money than what has been raised in the past years. Each player is required to raise a minimum of $500; however Brandon and Josh view this as a great opportunity to give back to the community as we all have been affected by the Children’s Hospital in some way. They hope to each raise $3,000 by May, and donations are greatly appreciated!



All proceeds go to the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin
