This year, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), the presenting sponsor of the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl’s Tailgate Party, and the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl are teaming up to showcase and support talented robotics teams across South Florida throughout the 2019 college football season. Robotics teams across the county are at work building or modifying existing robots that will compete against each other to kick a field goal. The winning team will be awarded a $5,000 grant, courtesy of FPL, and the opportunity to be featured on field during the 2019 Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl game to showcase their robot kicking a field goal through the uprights. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit the Robotics Program’s participating teams.
“When you combine FPL, football, fun, food and fundraising for a meaningful cause, your ‘game play’ delivers on so many levels,” notes Doug Mosley, executive director of the Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl that is set to kick off on Saturday, December 21 at 3:30 p.m. at FAU Stadium. “Can’t wait to see what’s cooking for this year’s outdoor tailgate fest at the Palm Beach Outlets Mall as we raise funds for our Bowl’s charity partner Spirit of Giving.”
