The Courage Bowl is an annual American college football bowl game that has been played every year starting in 2005.
The Courage Bowl features an annual match-up of Brockport and St. John Fisher. The game has been played at Eunice Kennedy Shriver Stadium,[1] Growney Stadium,[2] and Rochester Community Sports Complex Stadium,[3] all located in or near Rochester, New York. Co-founded by the University of Rochester and St. John Fisher College in 2005, the Courage Bowl benefits Camp Good Days and Special Times, an organization that provides experiences for children diagnosed with cancer and other diseases. These children participate in the game as honorary coaches and cheerleaders.[2] After 2012, the University of Rochester bowed out of the competition,[4] and was replaced by Alfred University for the 2013 game.[1] Brockport became a regular participant starting in 2014.
