SPRINGFIELD, Mo.— Southwest Baptist University will host the inaugural Bearcat Bowl flag football tournament at Plaster Stadium in Bolivar on Saturday, May 3, to benefit Ozarks Food Harvest and other local charities in the Bolivar area.

Registration is $175 per team for teams made up of seven players, age 13 and older. A portion of the proceeds will go to nonprofit organizations, including The Food Bank in Springfield, which serves more than 325 hunger relief agencies across 29 Ozarks counties.

Flag football team members are encouraged to collect canned food items for Ozarks Food Harvest. The team that collects the most food will receive an automatic bid into the single elimination, same day championship tournament.
