When the dust finally settles and Super Bowl LIV is history, the prognosticator with the best record will have won four half-page ads in The Press for her or his nonprofit. The ads can be used anytime in 2020 to thank donors, promote special events, honor outstanding employees — whatever the nonprofit chooses to share with Press readers as long as it’s not political. Second place is two half-page ads, and third place is one half-page ad.

The last-place finisher will “win” the consolation prize of earning his or her nonprofit a quarter-page ad in The Press.

Here are this season’s players, their affiliations, and the nonprofits they’ll represent:

- Lee White, CDA Police Chief — Safe Passage

- Pat Knight, Post Falls Police Chief — Newby-ginnings

- Jim Hightower, owner Domino’s Pizza — Tesh, Inc.

- Jared Staples, owner Papa Murphy’s Pizza — Open Arms Real Choices Clinic

- Jim Winger, Lake City High School Athletic Director — Jeff Hinz Fund

- Mike Randles, Coeur d’Alene High School Athletic Director — Children’s Village

- Mike Kennedy, Intermax (internet solutions) — St. Vincent de Paul

- DeAnne Boegli, TDS (internet solutions) — North Idaho STEM Charter

- Anne Hagman, ICCU — Heritage Health

- Suzanna Spencer, STCU — Post Falls Food Bank

- Steve Cameron, Press sports columnist — Community Library Network Foundation
