Also participating in the Snow Bowl event are local celebrities and on-air personalities.

Included in the festivities is a Grand Raffle. This year's Grand Prize is a Sports Package, including tickets to the Browns, Indians, Cavaliers and Aeros. The 1st place prize is an Akron Package that includes a night at the Quaker Square Hilton, dinner and show at the Carousel Dinner Theatre and more. The 2nd place winner will receive a Zoo Day, including a behind the scenes tour, lunch and the opportunity to meet some of the animals nose-to-nose. The last prize in the Grand Raffle is an official Budweiser, leather golf bag.

In its 12-year history Snow Bowl has raised over $388,000 for the animals at the Akron Zoo. Snow Bowl is sponsored by Roberts Express and Stonehedge. For more information on sponsoring a team or raffle tickets call the zoo at 375-2550.
