Schools participating in the Football State Championship games will compete against each other on the football field and to see whose fans can collect the most non-perishable food items at the State Championship games.
Collections will be made at each entry gate of all four venues by school affiliation. A $500 cash award donated by UnitedHealthcare will be awarded to the school at each of the four (4) championship venues that collects the most food items and donations based on weight and meals provided.
