Shrine East West star Coffman backs charity football show
SAN FRANCISCO UP One of the era’s most complex personalities took a bow at the 29th Shrine East West game. Bill Coffman, managing director of the post season classic, has helped raise over 1.5 million dollars for Shriner’s Crippled Children’s Hospital in 28 years. A former street singer and promoter, Coffman never played football but earned “Football’s Man of the Year” for his work. He organized large swimming carnivals and promoted swimming as a spectator sport before turning to football, where he remains a pivotal organizer and a close friend of many top bowlers and sports figures.
