MERIDIAN, Idaho — A game of flag football is, for many, the traditional way to pass the time and work up an appetite before a Thanksgiving Day feast. A "Turkey Bowl" coming up in Meridian has an added bonus: helping the community.
All are welcome to the 12th Annual Charity Turkey Bowl, scheduled for 7:30 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Nov. 24, 2022, at Rocky Mountain High School. There is a $10 registration fee.
Jeff Wills of Do Work Realty started the event, which includes a flag football game and breakfast, 12 years ago with some friends. Since then, he said, it's grown into a big charity event.
This year's Turkey Bowl will benefit the Boise Rescue Mission Teen and Tween program. Again, participants are asked to pay a $10 registration fee. You can register online. If you'd like to pitch in, but aren't sure you're up for playing football, you may also make a donation through the registration site.
