The Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic, brought to life some 23 years ago by a group of Shriners looking for a better way to spread the word about Shriners Hospitals for Children and expert medical care it provides with no financial obligation to the patients or their families. This All-star football game, pitting the best graduating high school student athletes from all over the state along with the finest graduating senior cheerleaders, will be played this year on Saturday July 23rd at Waterhouse Field in Biddeford. The student athletes participate in a weeklong training camp each year, with the players at Hebron Academy and Central Maine Community College in Auburn hosting the cheerleaders. A Golf Tournament starts the week off on Saturday July 16th, this year to be held at the Turner Highlands Country Club in Turner. All of the net proceeds from this event benefit Shriners Hospitals for Children and to date it has raised over $375,000 for the hospitals.
