Utah Football, Northwestern Give Back In Las Vegas Bowl Week Activity
Dec 20, 2023, 3:31 PM
LAS VEGAS – Before they put the proverbial boxing gloves on, Utah football and Northwestern teamed up to spread a little joy in one of the lead-up activities to the Las Vegas Bowl.
The Utes and Wildcats went to Opportunity Village– a non-profit located in Las Vegas, Nevada dedicated to enhancing the lives of adults with intellectual and related disabilities.
In the photos released by the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl, fans can see their teams spending time with Opportunity Village participants shooting some hoops, hanging out with the Pink Panther, and of course getting some selfies in.
Building new memories. Thank you @NUFBFamily & @Utah_Football for visiting our friends at @OppVillageLV. ❤️#LVBowl | #OpportunityVillage pic.twitter.com/Wkk8EdDP3w

2023 Las Vegas Bowl Events
One of the best parts of bowl games are the events the players, coaches, and staff members get to participate in as a reward for having a good football season. The Utes will be in for a week’s worth of fun, relaxation and of course, hard work to prepare for their game at the end of the week.
