All proceeds will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arkansas, Boys & Girls Club of Bryant and Boys & Girls Club of Saline County.

Celebrity players, coaches, and special guests will be on hand for the bipartisan exhibition game.

Arkansas Speaker of the House Davy Carter said legislators know who the real winners are, regardless of the game’s outcome.
