How Much Money Did Each School’s Food Bank Get From the 2025 Jell-O Shot Challenge?

(KNGT-FM) - Each year, the College World Series is held in Omaha, Nebraska. The games typically get started WELL before the actual games on the field are set to begin. Right across the street from Charles Schwab Field, there is a local pizza joint called Rocco's Pizza & Cantina. A few years ago, the owners came up with a GENIUS marketing idea, a College World Series SHOT CHALLENGE.

HOW IT WORKS: Each year, every school that makes the College World Series is put up on a whiteboard. For every Jell-O Shot that is purchased, you tell the bartenders to whom to add the tally, and your shot counts towards your team. The school that purchases the most Jello-O shots throughout the College World Series WINS.

When the LSU Tigers make their way to the College World Series, they typically take home the crown for the Jell-O Shot Challenge. They did so in 2023, and did so again this year!
