SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – The Independence Bowl’s inaugural First and Give Charity Flag Football Tournament took place on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 9 at Independence Stadium.
The event was put on by the Independence Bowl Foundation.
KSLA assembled a team to play and help give back to our neighbors in the south. Through our Salvation Army “Lift Up Louisiana” campaign, KSLA wanted to lend a hand to those impacted by Hurricane Ida.
The “News Krewe” played four games against some highly talented teams, ultimately making it to the quarter finals. The team raised more than $350 for the Salvation Army.
