Illinois High School Shrine Game set for June 20

The Illinois Coaches Association and the Shriners of Illinois will present the 52nd Annual Illinois High School Shrine Game.

The game is scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 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 97 of Illinois’ top high school football players, competing to support Shriners Children's in Chicago and St. Louis, the official philanthropy of Shriners International.

Admission is $12 per person and tickets will be available at the gate. Event information and complete rosters for the Red and Blue teams can be found at Illinois High School Shrine Game.

The mission of the Illinois High School Shrine Game is to provide a memorable experience for players, families, Shriners, and Shrine Kids while raising awareness and support for the life-changing care provided by Shriners Children's.

This year's banquet speaker will be Barry Creviston, who recently completed his 33rd year as a high school football coach. Throughout his coaching career, he has had the unique opportunity to coach alongside three of his sons, all of whom have participated in the Illinois High School Shrine Game.

In 2025, the Illinois High School Shrine Game raised nearly $16,000, with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting patient care programs at Shriners Children's.
