Are you ready for some football? 🏈

The Super Bowl is coming up soon, and we have a fun and easy way for you to join the excitement and win some cash 💰

Introducing our Super Bowl Squares Pool!

What are Super Bowl Squares?

Super Bowl Squares are a popular way to bet on the big game. You buy one or more squares on a 10×10 grid, each square representing a possible score at the end of each quarter. The numbers 0-9 are randomly assigned to the rows and columns after all squares are sold. If the last digit of each team’s score matches your square, you win a prize!

How to Play?

It’s simple. Just follow these steps:

1. Choose how many squares you want to buy. Each square costs $20, and you can buy as many as you want until the grid is full.
2. Pay securely with your credit card or PayPal account. Follow this link: https://chqstriders.org/payment/ and select “Super Bowl Square”
3. Wait for the numbers to be drawn and posted on our website before the game starts.
4. Watch the game and cheer for your numbers. We will announce the winners and send the payouts after each quarter.

What are the Prizes?

We have a total prize pool of $800, distributed as follows:

• First Quarter: $100
• Second Quarter: $200
• Third Quarter: $100
• Final Score: $400

The more squares you buy, the more chances you have to win!

Don’t miss this opportunity to spice up your Super Bowl experience and win some money. Hurry up and buy your squares today before they run out!

Here is our first completed pool with numbers! Please note the winner of each quarter is determined by looking at the last number in each teams’ score and matching those digits on the grid to see where the squares intersect. Also, a winner for the final score section will be chosen if their number matches the final score, not the fourth quarter score.

If you have not purchased a Super Bowl Square yet, you are in luck – our second pool has a few more squares! The same guidelines apply – only $20 a square! Grab yours today – we are happy to accept cash at our office located at 301 East Second Street Suite 102 in Jamestown, or you can order through Venmo at @erika-striders. Prizes include $125 for 1st and 3rd quarters, $250 for half-time, and $500 for the final score!

Don’t forget to sign up! The deadline for registration is Friday, October 28, 2022.

Suzette, Carlye, Misty and other Chautauqua Striders staff have been visiting local schools for Open Houses the past few weeks – take a peek at some of our Lego challenges from these nights! We visited Washington Middle School, Persell Middle School, Maple Grove Central High School and Falconer Central Schools.

On November 3, 2021, Western Region PTA recognized Chautauqua Striders with their Community Service Award. The award is presented annually to an individual or organization that do outstanding work with youth in Western New York. The Western Region PTA is an organization that supports the work of 28 District PTAs stretching from Jamestown to Rochester. 

Striders Executive Director Jen Swan-Leuze remarked when accepting the award “I think, like many others, when the pandemic began in March of 2020, we put our heads down and got right to work figuring out how we could still maintain our services and support the youth of Chautauqua County. Throughout the year, we didn’t really take time to reflect on our efforts. The recognition by Western Region PTA has allowed us the time to look back on and appreciate what we were able to accomplish in trying times. It has also helped confirm our belief that the work we do in our community is relevant, has a positive impact and is necessary in helping youth reach their full potential.” 

Since March of 2020, Chautauqua Striders has implemented online access to our services, and supported youth in Jamestown in the previous school year by providing daytime tutors in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club and the YMCA to students who needed somewhere to go on their remote days. In spite of restricted access to schools due to COVID restrictions in the last school year, we were able to provide our services both online and in-person to over 1,000 students in Chautauqua County from 13 different districts through our Academic, Mentoring, Life Skills, Athletic, and North County programs. 

Director of Communications & Development Richard Walter added at the award ceremony, “we owe a debt of thanks to our wonderful Striders Team, our partners, funders, parent and students. We are proud to support the amazing work being done by teachers, counselors, principals, and school administrative staff across the county – thank you for engaging with us. A huge thank you as always goes to our volunteers; especially the volunteer mentors who support youth in Jamestown, Southwestern, Falconer, Frewsburg, and Bemus Point.”
