OUR
MISSION
The
central mission behind the creation of the East
Coast Bowl is to increase the visibility and
showcase the talent of athletes from the Division
I-AA, II, III and NAIA level. Accolades for
football players from these levels are scarce
and limited and this proves to be another avenue
for Division I-AA, II, III and NAIA college
football players to reach their goals.
Other
elements that define the mission of the East
Coast Bowl include: the redevelopment and renovation
of Historic Cameron Field, and the establishment
of the East Coast Scholarship Program.
About
The East Coast Bowl is an annual college football
All-Star game that features the most elite Division
I-AA, II, III and NAIA college football players
from across the Mid-Atlantic region. The game
is held every year on the Saturday following
Thanksgiving at Cameron Field in Petersburg,
Virginia and is sponsored by the City of Petersburg
and the National Football Foundation. As mention
in the mission statement, all proceeds derived
from the game are used to award scholarships
to high school students from the Tri-Cities
area that intend on playing football at a Division
II or III institution.
