Ballard Stadium at Old Dominion University at 1pm, and you can expect a full day of sports and activities with national sports legends, including Tony “Goose” Siragusa, Bruce Smith, DJ Dozier, and Aaron Rouse, along with local dignitaries, media personalities, and elected officials. For many the Charity Bowl is a family tradition that spans almost 50 years, and it's time that you add this yearly spectacle to your list! Here's a little history on the Charity Bowl and how far it has come. The Charity Bowl originated in 1968 to raise money for The Joy Fund, a charity sponsored by the Virginian-Pilot. The Joy Fund purchased and delivered Christmas gifts to children whose parents could not afford presents during the holidays. The game was originally played by former high school and college football players at Thanksgiving. Today, the event is officially named the Priority Toyota Charity Celebrity Football Game, a flag football game featuring celebrities, elected officials and football legends. The Charity Bowl continues to benefit a number of local charities including: Achievable Dreams Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Virginia CHKD Communities In Schools Hampton Road s Edmarc Hospice for Children Foodbank of SE Virginia and Eastern Shore ForKids I Need A Lighthouse JT's Camp Grom Life Rolls On ODU Scholarship Fund Recovery for Kids SPCA St. Mary's Children's Hospital Storehouse Food Pantry The Joy Fund As you can see the Charity Bowl is a vital source of charitable funding for important causes around Hampton Roads, and it's the wonderful citizens of our area that can make it a huge success.

There aren’t too many midsize SUVs available these days that provide 4-plus star safety ratings, serious off-road capabilities, and plenty of space and comfort on the inside of its four doors. The 2015 Toyota 4Runner certainly fits the bill; offering a bit more all-around for those looking for a top-notch SUV that includes plenty to like interior wise. Seating and Space The 2015 Toyota 4Runner comes standard with a five-person seating arrangement that includes a 40/20/40 split-folding second-row seat. It also has an optional third-row seat, if you are ever in a pinch for added passenger space, but its best use is for additional cargo space. Behind the second-row seats, you get a hearty 47 cubic feet of cargo room. If you fold the second-row seats down that ‘magically’ becomes an even heartier 89.7 cubic feet. Moreover, while not specific to seating or space, a sunroof adds just a little extra pizazz to driving or riding in the 2015 4Runner. Technology One of the highlights of the 4Runner is the touchscreen infotainment system that comes standard in the TRD Pro Series. It includes a 6.1-inch display screen, reliable and easy to use navigation, and a stereo system that is better than what most other vehicles have to offer. There’s also the Entune App Suite that offers smartphone connectivity, which makes using your phone as easy and hands-free as possible. This system also comes complete with useful predictive traffic and weather features, though the 2.0 USB port is the real jewel here because it allows you to charge your smartphone and other devices more quickly while on the go. All in all, the 2015 Toyota 4Runner has a lot to offer that goes beyond providing you with a true SUV and off-roading experience.   Image via Pixabay
