Join Austin Hardware® for our Annual Charity Football Pool!

 

Registration is Now Open for the 2024-25 Season

YOU'RE INVITED to participate in the 9th Annual Austin Hardware® Charity Football Pool. The pool is FREE, FUN, and EASY to play. It’s the popular “eliminator” format that requires players to pick the winner of only ONE game each week.  

Most Importantly, CHARITIES WIN! 

At the end of the season, Austin Hardware and our sponsors will make a donation to one or a combination of the following charities in the name of the winner(s): 

- How the Pool Works

  • There is no cost or purchase necessary to play, and it is open to anyone except Austin Hardware employees
  • This is a "Survivor" (aka "Eliminator") style pool
  • Players pick one (1) team each week to WIN (straight up, no point spread)
  • If the player's pick WINS, the player continues to the next week; if the player's pick LOSES or TIES, the player is eliminated
  • Players may pick each team ONLY ONE TIME during the season
  • The limit is one (1) entry per e-mail address
  • Updates will be provided weekly via our blog (so please bookmark) as well as the pool dashboard at www.runyourpool.com, with notifications via e-mail and social media (FacebookTwitter, and Instagram).

"Since my company entered into a vendor managed inventory program with Austin, our service levels and in-stock position on our parts have never been better.  We consolidated 23 suppliers down to one, Austin. 

Now we only have one invoice to review, one shipment to check in and we are in stock 99% of the time!  Austin has one of the best customer service teams we work with, I would recommend this program to anyone who needs to take control of their inventory and be sure to have the parts you need on the shelves!"

"I wanted to send along some great news. We have experienced a few problems with shipping over the years, but the solutions that you put in place over the last few weeks have been very positive. On another note, Tom and Emma, the Vendor Managed Inventory team that I have been working with, have done a great job responding to concerns and questions in a timely fashion. That fact is another reason our VMI program is successful and getting stronger every day. Our overall numbers continue to increase and we are looking forward to the growth in 2017."
