Bloomington, IL – The Illinois Coaches Association and the Shriners of Illinois will have to cancel the 46th annual Illinois High School Shrine Game on June 20th at Tucci Stadium on the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University. Illinois Wesleyan University decided last Friday to close their campus thru June 28th. Over one hundred players All Stars were selected to participate in this year’s game. We will include these All Stars in our Alumni Association. The teams were to be coached by the State’s All Time Winningest Coach Ken Leonard and Chicago Public League Legend Albert Cruse. Those coaches, and their assistant head coaches, will be back in 2021 to coach the game. This all-star game raises money for Shriners Hospital for Children, the official philanthropy of Shriners International. Rosters for both the Red and Blue teams, can be found at www.ilshrinegame.com.
Our Shrine Game Committee selects two patients from the Shiners Hospital for Children to be the prince and princess. The princess is Hadley Holmes from Marion who is a patient at the Shriners Hospital in St Louis. The prince is Tim Bannon from Chicago who is a patient at the Shriners Hospital in Chicago. The prince and princess are honorary representatives from each hospital that will benefit from the money raised through the game. They will be invited back in 2021 to be the Prince & Princess.
Last year’s event raised nearly $25,000 that went directly to providing outstanding medical care for children at the Shriners Hospitals for Children. If you would like to support the Shriners Hospitals for Children we have an online donation form.
