Orange Bowl – By the Numbers Back Flap ORANGE BOWL 14360 NW 77TH COURT | MIAMI LAKES, FL 33016 ORANGEBOWL.ORG #CAPITALONEORANGEBOWL | #MAKEITORANGE 2017-18 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY MAKING AN IMPACT

From Lake Okeechobee to the Florida Keys, the Orange Bowl’s service to South Florida is as diverse as the residents that live here. 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.

The Orange Bowl Committee was created in 1935 with the mission of generating tourism for South Florida through an annual football game and supporting events.

The non-profit organization has expanded beyond Greater Miami to become a cornerstone of the entire South Florida area, now with 360 members and a growing legacy of charitable contributions and community outreach.

The Orange Bowl promotes championship sporting events - including the Capital One Orange Bowl and MetroPCS Orange Bowl Basketball Classic – related premier entertainment, and other year-round activities to inspire youth, engage our community and enhance the South Florida economy.

Assisting in those efforts are approximately one thousand Orange Bowl “Ambassadors,” who are community volunteers that make us, and our community, stronger.
