He was responding to my email inviting classmates to participate in the Super Bowl pool. This is the text of his email:
Hola Benny:
Please put me in for a square, and it will be donated to a house that we built in a town called Ticul this past summer that the funds wasn’t sufficient to cover the pouring of a floor. I will have our daughter send the check in. Gracias.
Aloha en Jesucristo,
Byron and Inez Ahina
A couple of days earlier, Verne Santos bought a square (in the gamblers pool) for the Class of 1972, donating the winnings of that square (if any) to the Class. I asked Byron if he thought we should have a "Charity Pool" that would allow people to buy $5 squares and donate the winnings to the charity of their choice. We both thought it would be a great idea so today we are launching the first
Class of 1972 Super Bowl Charity Pool
The rules are simple: the pool has 100 squares, each worth $5, so the total jackpot is worth $500. The pool is set up on a 10X10 grid (one team on the vertical side and one team on the horizontal side). The final score of each team will intersect on one square, and if you have that square, you WIN!! Once all the squares are sold, I'll email a grid that shows who has what squares. If you're the winner, a check to your favorite charity, non-profit or humanitarian cause will be sent on your behalf. So if you want to play, send your $5 check (or mulitiples of $5 if you want more squares) to: Charity Pool, c/o Benson Medina, 224 Kapalu St., Honolulu, HI 96813. Anyone can play, it doesn't have to be just our classmates.
Just email me(imua72@gmail.com) and let me know how many squares you want, you can send the money later. Good luck Everyone and Let's do some GOOD!!
