Overview
- Old Dominion and South Florida meet Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 5 p.m. ET at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, with live coverage on ESPN.
- Now in its 11th year, the event is organized by the Orlando Sports Foundation and pairs postseason football with a cancer-fighting cause.
- Organizers highlighted pregame community activities, including the Owens Corning March 2Cure at the T-Mobile Fiber Fan Fest before fans enter the stadium.
- Since its 2015 debut, the Cure Bowl has generated more than $6 million for cancer research, according to event reporting.
- ODU coach Ricky Rahne said the game’s mission resonates because his mother is a breast cancer survivor, and lineman Stephon Dubose-Bourne noted his family’s loss to the disease.
