Our 2026 Super Bowl Squares board is live! Good luck to all supporters! As a reminder, how to play - for example, if the Q1 score is 14-7 Pats, you look down the 7 column for the Seahawks and 4 row for the Pats and that's your winning square (square #1 in this example). Let's say at the end of Q3 the score is 27-20 Seahawks. You look down the 7 column for Seahawks and 0 row for Pats and that's your winner (square #51 in this example).

Our team is going to Cooperstown in June 2026! As a fundraiser, we are doing Super Bowl Squares. $20 per square. The proceeds will go directly towards supporting these boys at Cooperstown for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Buying a square (or multiple squares) is a win-win as you also get a chance to win $200 at 4 different times throughout the game! Each square is labeled with a player’s initials from our team so as to keep the process organized and simple. Once you buy a square, your name will be added to the sheet. When the sheet is full, we will randomly assign numbers across the top and bottom. Comment below, or reach out to a family on our team directly to buy squares! Thanks in advance for your support!
