The 2021 Iowa Shrine Bowl – a charity all-star game for high school football players – is on as planned. Cedar Falls has been home to the game since 2013, following a 13 year run at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. Each year the game helps raise money for The Shriners Hospitals for Children and was first played in 1973. Since then, the yearly game has raised millions of dollars for the Shriner’s programs.

All schools bordering Highway 30 have players on the South Squad, except for the Cedar Rapids schools, where the players are on the North Squad. The exception is Cedar Rapids Prairie, which represents the South Squad.
