For those of you who don’t know how Super Bowl Squares work here is a quick explanation:

Super Bowl Squares is a 10X10 board with 100 squares each box corresponds with a number from 0-9 that will be randomly chosen after all 100 squares are filled. There will be an opportunity to win a percentage of the money at the end of each quarter.

SELS will be selling each square for $5. In order for this to work however we will need to fill all 100 squares!

If you are interested in participating please contact Haley Hunnewell hah40@zips.uakron.edu, Lindsey Harrison Madgar lmh150@zips.uakron.edu,  Justin Powell jtp71@zips.uakron.edu, Amanda Najjar acn27@zips.uakron.edu, or Natalie Rothenbeucher nnr5@zips.uakron.edu before Friday February 2nd! Even if you aren’t rooting for either team this is a great way to find some enjoyment out of the game!

Disclaimer:  This is a fundraising event for SELS, a portion of the funds collected will be kept by the organization.
