The Buffalo Bills today announced a renewed partnership with NY's 529 College Savings Program. The Bills and NY's 529 College Savings Program are teaming up once again to present the Become the Buffalo Bills Junior GM for a Day contest.
Under this contest, one lucky boy or girl will win the opportunity to spend the day with Bills General Manager Doug Whaley. In addition, the winner will receive breakfast, lunch, a gift bag and a personalized Buffalo Bills jersey. Last year's winner was 10-year old Carson Kruk from Williamsville, NY.
To enter, participants will visit the contest page on buffalobills.com (www.buffalobills.com/JrGM) and submit their answers to three short answer questions as to why they have what it takes to be the Buffalo Bills Junior GM for a Day.
Twelve contestants will be chosen to join Buffalo Bills employees at One Bills Drive for live interview sessions. Each contestant will read their short answer questions aloud, answer follow-up questions and make tough decisions regarding the Bills roster and a grand prize winner will be chosen.
