NORFOLK, Va. (WVEC) -- It will be a great day of family fun and football at the 50th Priority Toyota Charity Bowl Celebrity Football Game!
The annual flag football contest features media personalities, former athletes and regional leaders. Representing 13News Now will be anchors Ashley Smith, Lucy Bustamante, and Kristina Robinson, meteorologist Tim Pandajis, and reporters Jaclyn Lee, Robert Boyd, and Chenue Her!
The Charity Bowl will be Saturday, April 14 beginning at 10 a.m. at S.B. Ballard Stadium at Foreman Field at Old Dominion University, just after the ODU Spring Game.
The Charity Bowl originated in 1968 to raise money for The Joy Fund, which purchases Christmas gifts for children whose parents cannot afford presents.
Today, the event is the Priority Toyota Charity Football Game, a flag football game featuring celebrities, elected officials, and football legends. The Charity Bowl continues to benefit a number of local charities.
Last year the event raised nearly $350,000 for 26 local Hampton Roads children's charities.
13News Now is a proud sponsor of the Charity Bowl.
