The Inside Story of an Unlikely Bowl Sponsor

Inside the Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl partnership

Makers Wanted Bahamas Bowl

Last Updated on February 3, 2023

Over the past couple of years, I’ve covered an unusual, and first-of-its-kind, bowl sponsorship between Elk Grove Village, a village just outside of Chicago, and the Bahamas Bowl. Today, I’m joined on the podcast by Mayor Craig Johnson of Elk Grove Village and Dan Migala of 4FRONT to discuss how this unusual partnership came to be and what it’s been like the past two seasons (hint: it’s been really good for them!). Plus, what are the plans going forward?

You can read my pieces on Forbes about this partnership here:
