Barnegie Hall Fundraiser – A Success!
OSU vs Michigan FUNdraiser for North Coast Rotary Foundation
/https://www.superbowlsquares.org/northcoastrotary
Use the link above to support the North Coast Rotary FUNdraiser football squares for the Michigan vs. OSU game.
THE NUMBERS FOR THE FOOTBALL SQUARES WILL BE SELECTED WHEN THE GRID IS FILLED.
How it works:
Once all the squares have been selected, we will randomly pick numbers from 0-9 for each team, and assign that number to a particular row or column. These numbers represent the last number in the score of each team. In other words, if the score is OSU 17 – Michigan 14, then the winning square is the one with an OSU number of 7, and a Michigan number of 4.
Since this is a Fund Raiser, 50% of the proceeds will go to North Coast Rotary Foundation and the other 50% will be distributed among the participants with the winning square(s) each quarter.
How to Pay:
Payment can be made by the following:
Venmo to: Larry-calabrese-2
Check: Mail to North Coast Rotary Foundation, PO Box 212, Avon Lake, Ohio 44012
Cash at Rotary meetings.
Winnings Breakdown for Squares
- End of 1st Quarter: 10%
- End of 2nd Quarter: 10%
- End of 3rd Quarter: 10%
- End of Game: 20%
- Payout to Rotary: 50%

North Coast Rotary thanks the Avon School Administration – Ben Hodge, Kristina Buller, and Rob Woods; the Avon Music Boosters; and Avon students, families and friends for your support at North Coast Rotary’s Great Pizza Bake-Off!
Everyone seemed to enjoy the varied pizza samples from Cafe Piccolo, Donatos, D’Tutanelli’s, Marco’s, Masters, Neechi’s and Pizza Hut and especially the generously donated donuts from Peace, Love and Little Donuts.
Funds raised will be used for multiple youth initiatives including leadership seminars, speech and writing contests, international youth exchange, scholarships and other programs.
Pizza!Pizza!Pizza!At Avon HS – Great Pizza Bake-off Thursday Feb 7 4:30 – 6:30 PM
Sample pizza, vote for your favorites and support Rotary! Vendors include: Cafe’ Piccolo, Domino’s, Marco’s, Master, Neechi’s, Pizza Hut and D’Tutanelli’s. Desserts courtesy of Peace, Love and Little Donuts.
North Coast Rotary will also have, on-hand, a collection trailer that is used for collecting used medical equipment and supplies. The equipment and supplies collected are ultimately sent to needy countries throughout the world. As an example, if you have an old walker, or a pair of crutches, or even the likes of a no-longer used knee or ankle brace, please bring them to the Pizza Bake-Off. You will be doing a great service and you’ll likely clear something out of your closet that you’ve been meaning to get rid of anyways. Additionally, if you have something too large, to be dropped off (i.e. a hospital bed), alternate arrangements can be made to have the medical equipment picked up from your residence.
