Salt Bowl 2022 “Salt in the Rock” would not be possible without the support of our community and our
great sponsors. The sponsors this year include Big Red Stores, Everett Buick GMC, ACDI, Wood Grill Buffet of Benton, McFarland Eye Care, Chuy’s Restaurant, Jones Heating and Air, Arkansas Urology, Skippy Foods, Arkansas Copier, Recycle Saline, Bin There Dump That, Ortho Arkansas, Arkansas Bone and Joint, Republic Services, Saline Memorial Hospital, Pafford Medical Services, Mascot Media, The Kinzler Family, Silver Eagle GPX, Bryant Chamber of Commerce, and the Benton Chamber of Commerce.

The Salt Bowl Committee is pleased to once again work with great organizations to give back to our community: The Arkansas Foodbank, the Arkansas Blood Institute and Goodwill Industries of
Arkansas.  These organizations and the work that they do are even more important given the impact of Covid-19 on our communities.

The Arkansas Foodbank will again be partnering with Skippy Foods for the annual Peanut Butter Drive. The peanut butter collection will begin August 1 at Big Red Stores.  As you purchase your Salt Bowl ticket, you will have the opportunity to purchase a jar of peanut butter for $2 and donate it in the
Arkansas Foodbank collection barrel located at the store.  Big Red Stores will be collecting the entire month of August.  The School Districts collection and competition will BEGIN at the Salt Bowl game this year and run the entire month of September, which coincides with Hunger Action Month. The goal is to provide a nutritious staple food item for children and families in Saline County, as well as educate
students of the impact of hunger in our community. Teachers will receive instructional packets from the Foodbank to use in their classrooms. With the goal of 25,000 pounds, schools from Bryant and Benton compete to see which one will collect the most peanut butter.  Skippy Foods generously matches the communities donation each year with their donation of 21,800 pounds of peanut butter last month to the
Arkansas Foodbank to help feed children and families this Summer due to the increased need. 
 
The peanut butter collected at the Big Red Stores and the school districts will be donated to Arkansas Foodbank member pantries located in Saline County to be distributed immediately to children and families in our communities.
The Arkansas Blood Institute will be holding Blood Drives at both high schools. The dates of the drives at both schools will be shared closer to game day. The districts will be competing for a trophy to the school that donates the most pints of blood.

Goodwill Industries of Arkansas is another strong partner of Salt Bowl. Beginning August 15th through August 26th , Goodwill stores in Benton and Bryant will collect Salt Bowl donations. Students, families and the community are encouraged to donate gently used clothing and household items at their respective Goodwill locations. In addition to helping fund numerous programs that provide education, training and employment assistance, donations collected will mean money for the school districts and gift cards for
families in need. Fans can also make a monetary donation at GoodwillAR.org designating the school to support.

The donations will be totaled and the winning district named at the game. The district with the most donations will receive a check for $1,500, along with $500 in gift cards to give to families in need. The second-place district will also receive $500 in gift cards, plus with a check for $1,000.

The tradition of the Salt Bowl continues to be togetherness and helping those in our community, we are excited that we will again have “Salt in the Rock”.
