The Orange Bowl promotes championship
sporting events, related premier entertainment,
and other year-round activities to inspire youth,
engage our community and enhance the South
Florida economy.
The non-profit organization has expanded
beyond Greater Miami to become a cornerstone
of the entire South Florida area with 360
committee members and a growing legacy of
charitable contributions and community outreach.
From Lake Okeechobee to the Florida Keys, the
Orange Bowl’s service to South Florida is as
diverse as the residents that live there.
Whether it’s the millions of dollars injected into
the local economy by hosting premier athletic
competitions – most notably through the Capital
One Orange Bowl – or the support of hundreds
of student-athletes through scholarships and
education, providing outlets and venues for
youth athletes to learn and play, or events and
initiatives that benefit children and their families,
the Orange Bowl continues to leave a lasting
imprint on the community.
Also assisting in these efforts are approximately
1,000 Orange Bowl “Ambassadors” who are
community volunteers that make us, and our
community, stronger.
