The Cotton Bowl Foundation's mission is to serve the communities associated with the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic by supporting programs that improve opportunities for underserved youth. The Foundation's vision, channeled through the great sport of football, is to make an impact on those who play the game, attend the game and support the game.
The Cotton Bowl Foundation is once again participating in North Texas Giving Day on September 21. In honor of the 25th anniversary of the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic Art Contest, we are asking for donations to support elementary art teachers throughout North Texas. This year, Amazon has come on board as the presenting sponsor of the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic Art Contest. The money raised will provide much-needed art supplies for art classrooms throughout North Texas. To show support of the Cotton Bowl Classic Art Contest, Amazon and the College Football Playoff Foundation are each providing $25,000 matching grants to spark donations for this year's North Texas Giving Day campaign. The more money raised from North Texas Giving Day giving, the more teachers and art programs around North Texas will be provided funds. Please give today!

IMPACTING CHILDREN'S LIVES
The Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic Art Contest has been a treasured part of the bowl experience and has impacted more than 100,000 elementary students since the program’s inception in 1997.
Every child that participates is a winner with each piece of original artwork laminated and used as placemats for our premier midday event during Cotton Bowl Classic week. The first, second and third-place winners have their artwork proudly displayed at their schools and at AT&T Stadium near the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association offices throughout the year. This year, the winners and their art teachers will be honored on the field at AT&T Stadium during the 88th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.
The 24th Cotton Bowl Classic Art Contest in 2022 saw a record number of entries and all-time high support from the Cotton Bowl Foundation. The contest was back and better than ever following a two-year hiatus with a record high of more than 10,500 entries from an all-time high of 150 elementary schools across six North Texas counties – Dallas, Collin, Tarrant, Denton, Rockwall and Wise. The Cotton Bowl Foundation ramped up its support for this beloved Classic tradition with $75,000 distributed to help art teachers with art supplies and support art-centric programs.
The Cotton Bowl Foundation, the official foundation of the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, serves North Texas by supporting programs that improve opportunities for underserved youth with the vision of making an impact on those who play the game, attend the game and support the game. Since 2016, the Cotton Bowl Foundation has awarded more than $2.5 million in grants and financial support benefiting non-profit organizations in the surrounding communities.
