Top Prospects Charity Bowl
The TopProspects charity bowl is an annual event aimed to bring the community together to support a great cause while providing a unique experience that our athletes will enjoy and never forget.
Profits will be going towards a scholarship fund to raise awareness for mental health in both athletes and the general public. In today’s sports scene athletes are starting at a higher level while at a younger age. While this is great, it also brings on the possibility of burnout, stress factors and more serious mental illnesses.
Sports are NOT getting “Soft” they are becoming more advanced, and it is just as important to understand the advancement and work on the mental aspect as it is to physically train and prepare your body. This scholarship fund will be available to all graduating seniors who will be going into a mental health related major. Other factors considered for each applicant include - how they plan to bring awareness and drive change towards mental health in athletes and the general public - how much of an impact they have attempted to make in their community. And lastly their career goals in this profession and how they plan to achieve them.

2024 Charity Bowl Mixtape
We were fortunate enough to have over 30 athletes participate in our Inaugural Charity Bowl and have more than 100 people total in attendance. With this event occurring annually we hope to continue to grow each year. Getting the community to come out for an event that not only provides athletes with an unforgettable experience on the field but one off the field as well is extremely important. Mental Health awareness is a topic that needs more light shed on it and it is especially important for the younger generation to understand they are not alone. More information on the scholarship will be provided when it becomes available in 2025. We thank all of our participants, parents and sponsors who helped make this year so special and we look forward to seeing what next year holds!
