Officials from Airo Nation and Spire Sports + Entertainment announced the launch of the Inaugural Freedom Bowl, a two-day, six-game lineup hosted by Metro Atlanta’s Milton High School and slated for this upcoming Labor Day Weekend (Aug. 31-Sept. 1).
“The Freedom Bowl brings top level high school football to one location and provides much more than just football competition,” said David Menard, Founder and President of Airo Nation. “Utilizing this amazing platform will also inspire and educate our youth about what the men and women of our armed forces sacrifice to protect our freedom.”
The Freedom Bowl aims to raise awareness of and raise proceeds for wounded servicemen and servicewomen.
Spire Sports + Entertainment (based out of North Carolina) and Airo Nation (a Florida-based company that specializes in regional and national 7-on-7 tournaments) have teamed together to form the event and sought out Milton to be this inaugural year’s exclusive host.
The six games will be divided into a Friday night doubleheader and a four-game Saturday lineup. Georgia will be represented on both days, with Milton playing on Friday and North Gwinnett playing on Saturday.
