ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL SHRINE GAME SET FOR JUNE 21, 2025

Bloomington, IL – The Illinois Coaches Association and the Shriners of Illinois are proud to present the 51st Annual Illinois High School Shrine Game, scheduled for Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Tucci Stadium on the campus of Illinois Wesleyan University. Kickoff is at 11:00 a.m., with pregame festivities beginning at 10:00 a.m.

This prestigious all-star event will feature 103 of the top high school football players from across Illinois, competing to support Shriners Hospitals for Children, the official philanthropy of Shriners International. Tickets are $10 and will be available at the gate. Event details and full team rosters for the Red and Blue squads can be found at IL HS Shrine Game.

The goal of the Shrine Game is to create a fun and memorable experience for players, families, Shriners, and Shrine Kids, while raising awareness and support for pediatric specialty care. This year’s featured banquet speaker is Jared Williamson, newly appointed Head Football Coach at Illinois Wesleyan University. A former Alaska high school standout, Jared was selected to play in the Alaska Shrine Game, where he earned Offensive MVP honors.

In 2024, the Illinois High School Shrine Game raised nearly $13,000, all of which went directly to patient care at Shriners Hospitals for Children.
