Since 2006, the Birmingham Bowl has donated over $370,000 to the Monday Morning Quarterback Club in support of its charitable arm, the Crippled Children’s Foundation. The Crippled Children’s Foundation provides direct financial support to charities providing vital medical services to area children.
According to figures provided by the Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, the Birmingham Bowl has generated an economic impact of more than $151 million for the Birmingham area over the past 14 years.
Additionally, during that time over 33 million viewers have tuned in to the 3.5 hour nationally televised game on ESPN highlighting our community to the entire nation.
