 Eighteen years ago, Jon Absey ( then the original Utah Jazz Bear) challenged the Sports Marketing Class at Lehi High School to come up with a fun and exciting  way to promote, organize, and oversee his Mascot Bowl event. Mascot Bowl is a fundraising event supported by Firemen and Friends for Kids. 

This would allow the students to participate in the Fireman and Friends’ tradition of taking hundreds of underprivileged children Christmas shopping each year. By participating in this event, the high school students were provided with opportunities in securing business sponsorships, event marketing and game operations. 

The event is a football game that pits a team of mascots from the NBA, NFL, NHL, local colleges and high schools against a team of 8th Graders. The game is complemented with a variety of events from celebrity "Meet and Greets" with photo ops and autographs to face painting, games, food trucks, halftime entertainment, and a fireworks show finale. The first year was a success and Mascot Bowl has grown by leaps and bounds.  Being in its 19th year, Mascot bowl has become a prized possession of the community and an incredible and highly esteemed event.
