Welcome to Buddy Bowl
The Buddy Bowl was founded in 1977 by a group of Pt. Loma High School graduates in San Diego, CA as a fun way to annually reunite friends who had a common interest in playing football. In 1999 the Buddy Bowl’s focus changed from simply a reunion of friends to that of raising money for a worthy cause. In June of 2003 Buddy Bowl Inc. was incorporated as a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit corporation dedicated to raising money for military, law enforcement, and children’s related charities through the annual flag football tournament series. The Buddy Bowl Charity Flag Football Tournament Series is now played in cities and towns across the nation to support our injured troops and first responders.
The Buddy Bowl is unique because it is the only annual event in the U.S. that raises money for military and law enforcement personnel and their families through a community-based flag football tournament that includes both physically challenged and able-bodied participants. The Buddy Bowl provides the opportunity for our military, their families and the generally public to interact in a friendly, substance-free athletic environment for a worthy cause.
