MESSAGE

FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, KYM ADAIR
Thank you for joining us for the 2025 Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl presented by Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop Kickoff Luncheon!
 
We are so excited to kick off the journey to our next Bowl Game which will be played on December 27th this year.  This 2025 game marks the 10th anniversary of the Arizona Bowl and we are so thrilled to see how it has grown from an idea that Ali Farhang, Fletcher McCusker and Mark Irvin had to what it is now, a Southern Arizona tradition that generates millions in tourism dollars, economic impact and charitable giving. 
 
With the addition of Snoop Dogg and Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop, the Arizona Bowl has added even more national visibility to Southern Arizona and created an event that is a must-see every year.  This year will be no different! Snoop will be back and bringing some friends along with him in addition to some special “Snoopalicious” surprises.
 
Thank you to all of you that have supported the Arizona Bowl these past 10 years. Your trust, enthusiasm and loyalty have made this community event what it is today! I’d also like to thank our incredible Blue Blazer organization that continues to drive the success each year.  We couldn’t do it without you!
 
Cheers,

Kym

2025 AWARD RECIPIENTS

FEATURED GUEST

Brian Urlacher is regarded as one of the greatest defensive players in the modern era of the NFL.

He spent his entire 13-season NFL career (2000–2012) with the Chicago Bears. Born in Pasco, Washington, and raised in Lovington, New Mexico, he was a versatile athlete in high school, excelling in multiple sports. He played college football at the University of New Mexico, where he earned consensus All-American honors and was the Mountain West Player of the Year in 1999. In 1997 he and his Lobos played in the precursor of our Bowl game, the Insight.com Bowl against the Arizona Wildcats.
 
Drafted by the Bears ninth overall in the 2000 NFL Draft, Brian quickly established himself as a defensive force, winning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in his first season. Standing 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 258 pounds, his blend of size, speed, and instincts made him an elite middle linebacker, a storied position for the franchise.
 
His career accolades include four First-team All-Pro selections, eight Pro Bowl appearances, and the 2005 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. He led the Bears to an appearance in Super Bowl XLI. Brian holds the Bears’ franchise record for career tackles. He was named to the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team, inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2017, and enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
