The 'Charity Bowl' is traditionally played between the previous years 'Charity Bowl' winner, and the previous seasons 'Capital Bowl' winner. As its name suggests, the 'Charity Bowl' signifies a time where ACTG makes donations to local charities. From 1998 onwards ACT Gridion has donated to the ACT Cancer Council in memory of a former player, Shane Gray who passed away as a result of Cancer in 1996.
