Throwing for good.
Ice Bowl began in 1987 as a winter tournament to bring the disc community together for fun. In 1996, charity was added to the Ice Bowl tradition to raise funds and food for their local communities, bringing together players of all skill levels who share a passion for the sport and a commitment to giving back.

Ice Bowl tournaments take place during astronomical winter, with the winter solstice marking the start of Ice Bowl season each year. Facing the extreme elements fosters a unique atmosphere where camaraderie and charity combine.
Ice Bowls have become a celebration of community spirit, focusing on supporting food security initiatives. As each year passes, the collective impact of these tournaments grows, showcasing the generosity and determination of disc golfers everywhere to make a difference.
