Meadows Turkey Bowl - Donate Today to Help the Needy!

This year's Meadows Turkey Bowl is dedicated to Pete and Gianna Rae Meadows. On January 14th, 2020, the Meadows Turkey Bowl family changed forever when Pete Meadows was diagnosed with brain cancer after just three months of marriage to his wife, Anita. Until then, the mission of the Meadows Turkey Bowl was to help the needy, especially the needy battling cancer. After Pete's diagnosis, a new mission emerged: Finding a cure for the type of brain cancer Pete is battling. This year, 100% of your money will go to the needy, especially the needy battling cancer, as well as to the Gianna Rae Fund that supports brain cancer research. We do this in memory of Gianna Rae, Pete and Anita's daughter, who passed away just before birth on Mother's Day weekend in 2022. Your donation and support replace heartache with hope as God has blessed the Meadows Turkey Bowl family in so many ways.

Meadows Turkey Bowl History

The Meadows Turkey Bowl was started in 1990 by brothers Mike & Bill Meadows.

The Meadows Turkey Bowl is a backyard football game played every Thanksgiving morning, featuring over 40 players each year. The game is followed by a Breakfast, Awards Ceremony, and Hall of Fame Induction Roast. A Player Draft and Auction take place the night before the event - an evening filled with fellowship, laughter, and friendly competition.

All Meadows Turkey Bowl players show their gratitude for the game, their friendship, and the gift of life by donating to the Saint Vincent DePaul Society.

All contributions go directly to helping families in need and advancing the fight against cancer through pioneering research that’s redefining what’s possible.
