The ACLD Tillotson School is sponsoring a 2026 Steelers Football Pool

Please consider purchasing a block to support the

ACLD Tillotson School Benevolent Fund!

What is the Benevolent Fund: The Benevolent fund was created years ago as a way for staff to help families in need celebrate the holidays.  Through the years, it has evolved into a fund that helps our families at the Tillotson School with any need that might impede them.  The fund is supported by those who would like to make a donation that is exclusively for our students.

ACLD Tillotson School Steelers Block Pool

This block pool will cover:

• ALL 17 regular season Steelers games from September 13, 2026 - January 10, 2027
• The cost of one block is $50.00 (just under $3 per week)
• Payout of $50.00 for the halftime score for each game
• Payout of $100.00 for the final score for each game

Deadline to participate: Wednesday, September 2, 2026, Payment due by Friday, September 4th or block will be released and made available to purchase.

There are 100 blocks in the pool and your name will be assigned to a random block after you make the purchase.  All unassigned blocks will be assigned to the ACLD Tillotson School. There is no advantage to one block over another. See sample block below.

The numbers you receive for each block pool are randomly assigned weekly (meaning you will get different numbers each week) and once the numbers are assigned each week, a copy of each weekly pool will be updated and posted on our school website under the tab “Steelers Block Pool.”

Payment and Payouts: The fee to participate is $50 per block.  You can select as many blocks as you like.  $2,550 will be paid out to winners and $2,450 will be donated to the ACLD Tillotson School benevolent fund.

All payouts will be made at the completion of the 17 block pools which is the first full week of January unless requested by the winner on an earlier date.  Thank you so much for your consideration and we appreciate your support!
