Salute to Veterans Bowl

The first FBS bowl game of the season will kick off in Montgomery just moments after the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner is announced in New York.

This year’s bowl game will pit a Sun Belt Conference team against a Mid-American Conference (MAC) team.

The bowl game has welcomed Integrated Solutions for Systems (IS4S) as its corporate sponsor. IS4S is an employee-owned and controlled small business that provides a wide range of engineering and management solutions to the United States Armed Forces and other government and commercial agencies.

The city of Montgomery has been named a Great American Defense Community by the Association of Defense Communities, and Montgomery Mayor Steven L. Reed is excited by the new partnership.

“We are excited to see this change coming to the [former] Camellia Bowl. Considering IS4S’ involvement with our military, and Montgomery having the distinction of being named a Great American Defense Community by the Association of Defense Communities, I can think of no better partnership for this prestigious bowl game we host right here in our community.”
