Plot Synopsis

Created by the Shriners in 1925, the EAST-WEST SHRINE GAME was the nation's first college all-star football game. Every year, players and coaches visit the local Shriners Hospitals for Children during game week to meet the patients and gain a greater understanding of the importance of the game, reinforcing support for the hospital in its mission to help children in need of expert medical care. Players like Gale Sayers, Tom Brady, John Elway, Allan Page, Dick Butkus, Brett Favre, Gino Marchetti and Walter Payton, along with coaches Don Shula, Dick Vermeil, Paul "Bear" Bryant and Jerry Glanville, to name a few, have supported the EAST-WEST SHRINE GAME during its prolific history.
