Early in the 1970's several dedicated Shriners began to develop and promote the
idea of a joint effort of all 5 Kansas Shrine Temples to sponsor a state-wide
high school All-Star Football Game to benefit Shriners Hospitals. It is
interesting to note that the farsighted individuals developed their plans
individually and often in completely different cities.
On the 29th day of October, 1973, a representative of each of the Kansas Shrine
Temples (J. Willis Toothaker of Hoxie, Robert C. Morrison of Wichita, Ralph Taylor
of Pittsburg, William N. Bond of Shawnee Mission, and Jack A. Quinlan of Topeka)
met and signed the articles of incorporation forming The Shrine Bowl of Kansas, Inc.
According to the bylaws the Shrine Bowl has two primary functions:
- The financial aid and
support of the Shriners Hospitals for Children.
- The promotion of Kansas
High School activities and its top athletes.
