✨ WHY WE DO THIS
For some, Super Bowl Sunday is fun and full of joy.For others — especially people in recovery, teens, kids, or families who live in unpredictable homes — it can be stressful, triggering, or unsafe.
Sober Bowl exists to offer peace.
A place to laugh, eat, celebrate, play, and watch the game without alcohol, smoke, chaos, pressure, or discomfort.
It’s our 4th year hosting this event, and we are deeply grateful to our community and past sponsors who have helped make it possible. This year, we’re searching for new sponsors to help the event grow and continue serving our city with love, food, safety, and community.
🛑 OUR MESSAGE IS SIMPLE:
Drive Sober. Watch With Clarity. Celebrate Safely.
If you’re celebrating, please:
• Don’t drink and drive
• Don’t drive under the influence of any intoxicating substance -
• Choose safety
• Come enjoy community instead
You matter.
Your safety matters.
And we want everyone to get home safely after the game.
