Scottish Rite for Children virtually hosted the University of Alabama football team on Monday, December 27th for the annual Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic team visit. Players and Scottish Rite patients virtually interacted through online gaming, plus patients had the opportunity to meet and engage with the team. 

"It was a great opportunity to meet some really cool kids," said 2021 Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young.  

Fun times were had by all, as patients and players discussed childhood pets, favorite athletes, and the upcoming big game - all while playing Madden 2V2. 

The college football playoff semifinal at the 86th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic will take place on Friday, December 31, 2021, at AT&T Stadium. Since 2016, title sponsor Goodyear has supported Scottish Rite for Children with a $10,000 donation and a special in-game tribute.
