Super Bowl Squares for Charity-Please Read

[vegasobie]

A thanks to BTB for allowing me to post this here. I'm sharing with y'all the email my wife sent out to our friends/family, but your help would be greatly appreicated. Should there be a huge response, more than one board would be done. Please read and consider. The email address to contact her if you are interested is ekeller18@gmail.com

Thanks!


Hello all.

First, sorry for the mass message.

As many of you know, my uncle was tragically killed in a car accident just before the holidays this past year. At the memorial service, the immediate family was informed that the wrestling room at the high school in their town of Wellsville, Ohio, was going to be named after him.

My uncle helped build the wrestling room many years ago. The family wants to put his name on the room, but the problem is it is in poor shape, and the family is not going to put his name on the room until it is renovated. So now many are fundraising to make sure the room accurately represents the kind of person my uncle was.

I'm doing a superbowl square game where the majority of the proceeds will go to the Darrel Nightingale Wrestling Room. I still have lots of squares available and would love to have you play along. Squares are $5 a piece and the winners will receive the following prizes - 1st and 3rd quarters will get a $25 gift card to Bdubs or a restaurant of their choice, half time winner will receive $50 and the 4th quarter winner will receive $100.

To do this accross the country, I can accept funds via Paypal. If you have questions on how to do that, please let me know. Or if you have another idea for payment, I'm willing to figure that out - I trust those of you on this email.

Once we talk and/or I receive payment from you, I will send you an excel spreadsheet that is coded by letters. You pick the two letters that go with the square that you want (so rather than saying I want A1, you would use my key and say I want AZ). On Saturday, I will pick the numbers, share the sheet with all the players, and keep everyone informed after the game.

Please feel free to email(ekeller18@gmail.com) or call me with any questions.

Thanks for reading this far, and for your consideration.

appreciate all of those reading and considering this. have already heard from 2 people, one a lurker and one a registered member. perhaps we should have a contest to see if more members respond??? who wants to set the odds on that?

[VincentValour]

I'm in. It's the least I can do. Come on guys pony up.

[The Peoples Champ]

Already in, if everyone posts their squares once we receive then it may be fun to keep an eye on Sunday.

Thanks again for those helping out!!!

There are still some squares left, so don't be one yourself and get in on the action.

I'll take a couple. Who should I tell her I heard this from? Does she know who "vegasobie" is?
