When Team Marisa and Team Rose take the field next Thursday at Nicholas Priscoe Stadium at Woodbridge High School, the Marisa Rose Bowl promises to be bigger and better than ever, with seniors from Middlesex County playing in one last game, for a good cause.
The game began in 1994 as the Snapple Bowl but was rebranded last year featuring only players from Middlesex County, and will benefit The Marisa Tufaro Foundation, whose mission is to assist pediatric patients and other children in need throughout the greater Middlesex County area. The Foundation will give a share of the proceeds to PSE&G Children’s Specialized Hospital of New Brunswick and the Edison-based Lakeview School, a program of the New Jersey Institute for Disabilities.
Since its inception, the game as raised nearly $740,000 for charity.
Below are the representatives from each school, as well as the coaching staff and all cheerleaders who are participating in the game. Please note rosters may change between now and gameday without notice.
