How the Bills Backers Challenge works

Bars can ask to join now, and giving is open. The final competition dates and the full rules will be posted on this page.

For bars

Bills Backers chapters and sports bars in the United States may apply at no cost. Each participating team represents one physical bar location. The foundation confirms the location and its eligibility before activating its fundraising page.

For supporters

Fans will donate directly to the foundation through Givebutter using their bar’s team page. Bar staff will display the materials but never handle donations. Gifts are voluntary and separate from purchases.

The challenge

Participating bars will rally their fans for children’s literacy. Results decide the prizes; nobody is entered into a drawing.

• 1st place bar: Andre Reed hosts a Bills watch party at the bar.
• Top 3 bars: signed Andre Reed memorabilia.
• Top donors: the top 4 individual donors at each top-3 bar play free as a foursome, as the foundation’s guests, at its next East Coast (Allentown, PA) or West Coast (Rancho Santa Fe, CA) golf tournament. Free tournament entry; travel isn’t included.
• Every participating bar: a thank-you card signed by Andre Reed.

Prizes have no cash equivalent, and winners are responsible for any taxes on prizes they receive. The visit date, qualifying-donation rules, donor ranking and verification process will appear here before donations open.

The cause

Gifts support the foundation’s Read with Reed 83 literacy work with Boys & Girls Clubs. Questions? events@andrereedfoundation.org.
