Similar to prior years, we are doing a Survivor Pool. Different this year, we are running it aside from The Eddie Mayerik Foundation, but 50% of the entries will still go to the organization.

Deadline to create your team in our group is 1pm on Sunday, September 12th.

NFL Survivor Pool Explanation: It's quite easy! pick a team each week that you want/think will win. If they do win, you survive; if not, you receive a loss. Two losses and you are out of the contest. You can't pick the same team twice; forget to make a pick and you receive a loss. Be the last team(s) and win a share of 50% of the total pool. The other 50% will be donated to the Eddie Mayerik Foundation. All picks need to be in by 1pm on the Sunday of each week.

We appreciate anyone willing to support our cause. Hoping this is a fun way for everyone to help with a chance at a little something in return. If you're interested in making a donation beyond or in lieu of the entry fee, the website is eddiestrong.org, and there are options to make a donation amount of your choosing.

EMAIL [email protected] if you are interested in joining and we will give you all of the details!!
