BigFoot Disc Golf Shop is excited to continue on with the the 2025 BigFoot Tour Series with the 4th Annual Texoma Ice Bowl Championships!
What Is an Ice Bowl Disc Golf Tournament?
An Ice Bowl® is a disc golf event, most typically held in winter, with a mission to increase local awareness of disc golf by raising funds for local and regional charities, with an emphasis on fighting food insecurity. Many Ice Bowls emphasize fun over competition, while burnishing a positive image for disc golf and disc golfers through publicizing the charitable fundraising with timely news releases. Ice Bowl began in 1987 as a single tournament in Columbia, Missouri in an effort to publicize the fledgling sport and to get more people playing. Raising funds for charity was added as a very significant component of Ice Bowl in 1996. Since then, over $5.39 million has been raised, including over $800K in 2024.
Our 2025 Partner
This year we are partnering with the Hands of Hope Food Bank of Durant, OK which is located on Main St. The mission of Hands of Hope is to help provide food to those in need. This non-profit organization has helped distribute over $2 Million dollars worth of food since 2014. Upon researching Hands of Hope further, it is great to see that only 10% of donations goes to administrative fees/salaries with 90% going directly towards the purchase of food.

Our 2025 Fundraising Goal
Our goal for 2025 is to raise $500! We are trying to do our part and play a positive role in impacting our local Southern Oklahoma community!
