Memories That Last a Lifetime

Memories That Last a Lifetime

The Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas is a game full of memories each year for the players, coaches, and families of all those involved. Many of those memories are caught on camera by John Burney and Stan Seigla. Those photos can be viewed by CLICKING HERE.

The two men started digitally saving those Shrine Bowl memories in 2006 and will be present again this year for the 75th Anniversary. Now thousands of pictures from each Game Week are available on Digibug.com  for viewing and purchasing. John and Stan will start posting pictures on Saturday night from the days events and add more each day until after the game. You can select a picture you want and have it put on anything from a coffee mug to greeting cards or an entire list of things in between. Purchase is by credit card, through the site, and will ship quickly. All proceeds from the photo sales go to the Shriners Hospital.

John Burney got involved with the Shrine Bowl when he was aa athletic trainer in 1989. He was the head athletic trainer for several years after that. Then his love for photography and seeing a need to be filled started doing photography for game week.

Stan Seigla became a Shriner in 1972. He is from Maineville, Ohio and works as a volunteer at the Shriners Burn Center in Cincinnati. Shooting the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas is just another opportunity for him to give back to Shriners Hopsital.

These two men give a week of their time each year to give those involved a lasting memory of game week activities through their photographic work. They cover arrival of the players, dinners, visiting the hospital, practices, and get candid shots throughout the day. They also do team pictures as well as presentation of Disney Awards and others that are handed out during the week. Then on game day, they shoot everything from bands and cheerleaders, to individual player introductions at The Rock, before doing a massive amount of pictures during the game itself.

Pictures will be uploaded to the site each night from Saturday, December 10th, until Saturday, December 17th, for your viewing.
