December 30, 2014 By Tim Fisher

“The most important aspect of East-West Shrine Game has always been supporting Shriners Hospitals for Children,” said East-West Shrine Game Executive Director Harold Richardson. “But during game week, it also affords our players a terrific opportunity to showcase their talents and get their first glimpse of life in the NFL . ‘Just Like on Sunday.'”

While the teams are divided by East and West, the players come together for the beneficiary of the event, Shriners Hospitals for Children®, an international pediatric specialty health care system.

Maxwell, president and CEO of Shriners Hospitals for Children. “Our health care system depends on the generosity of our supporters, and this game is one of our signature events benefitting Shriners Hospitals for Children.”
