Light the Ave - Super Bowl Block Pool
Support the Ave and win BIG with the Birds this Super Bowl LIX! The Capri Dessecker Team at RE/MAX is hosting a Super Bowl Block Pool to benefit the EPABID’s beautification projects for East Passyunk Avenue, including lighting, landscaping and more.
What’s a block pool?
A block pool is a betting game where participants purchase squares on a grid, and winners are determined by the last digit of each team's score at the end of each quarter in the game.
How does it work?
Setup: A Super Bowl block pool grid has 100 squares, each corresponding to a unique combination of the last digit of each team's score. Players select squares by buying them for $50 each. Once all 100 blocks are filled, numbers are assigned and players will be notified of their block numbers.
Prize Distribution: After the game, winners are determined by the score at the end of each quarter, with one square winning per quarter based on the last digit of both teams' scores.
Winnings: Each quarter's winner typically receives a portion of the total pool—$500 for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter, and $1,000 for the winner of the final score.
Here’s how to play:
1. Venmo @Capri-Dessecker $50 per square. Put “Super Bowl” in the description. Players must choose blocks before the game begins.
2. Click the Run the Pool link to set up your account and choose your block.
3. Pick your squares and win big!

ePOP's "Love Notes 4 Philly" at Society Hill Dance Academy
ePOP is bringing back Love Notes one last time! Their 4th and final concert in the series, Love Notes 4 Philly, will take place at Society Hill Dance Academy on January 11, 2025.
You may remember ePOP's first 3 Love Notes concerts. During the first winter of the covid pandemic, they brought you Love Notes, a virtual cabaret featuring world-class opera artists singing songs all about love. The following year, ePOP brought you Love Notes 2.0… Sour Notes, which focused on the real and less than ideal side of love. Last year, ePOP was back at Society Hill Dance Academy with Love Notes 3: Notes to Self, a contemplation on self-reflection, struggle, and growth… with a little levity and humor mixed in.
As you can see, ePOP's series has been a theme and variations on love. That which we share with lovers, that which we share with and for ourselves, that which destroys us. To close out the series, it seemed fitting to end with the most profound love of all: that which we share with one another. The love of community.
What does the love of a community look like? Action. Action made manifest. It is leaning on one another when we cannot stand on our own. Love Notes 4 Philly will not only be a performance, but a manner of fostering community that extends beyond us, allowing us to find actions we can continue beyond our night together. At the show, ePOP will connect the audience to several mutual aid groups in Philadelphia, and to the direct work needed to uplift them. That is love made manifest.
Artists for the concerts have performed at venues including The Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall, Opera Philadelphia, and the Kimmel Cultural Center.
Special thanks to our sponsor, Top Dog Cocktails, who will offer two complimentary cocktails to each guest over 21 years of age.
Ticket pricing is broken down into two categories:
General Admission- $35 includes two complimentary cocktails provided by Top Dog Cocktails. Seating for general admission tickets is on a first-come, first-served basis.
VIP Ticket- $50 includes reserved seating near the stage and two complimentary cocktails provided by Top Dog Cocktails.
