Every year, we set a collective fund raising goal for Ice Bowl. For 2011, it was $300,000, and we're quite pleased to report that with 233 events reporting, that 12,368 disc golfers from the USA, Canada, Finland, and Norway raised a total $275,893. In addition, almost 60,000 pounds of food was donated. As we gear up for Ice Bowl 2012, we expect the totals to go up when we renew our efforts to get the 30 or so events who are missing to get their numbers reported.

Perennial top fund raisers, the Mile High Disc Golf Club of Colorado and the Saint Cloud (Minnesota) Disc Golf Club continued to anchor Ice Bowl with donations of $15,139 and $14,766 respectively. Special mention goes to both John Bird of the Mile High Ice Bowl and Rick Rentz of the St Cloud Ice Bowl. for their tireless and awesome commitment to Ice Bowl fund raising.
