There was no other way for the group dubbed 'Our Gang Football' group to watch Super Bowl 50 than together.

Guests surprised hosts Tony and Tinker Britton with a customized cornhole game set with the group's name and colors. One glance around the room revealed which team the group was rooting for to win. Although typically most of the members are New York Giants fans they gladly cheered on the Broncos to victory. 

Aside from cheering on all things football related, the group collects for the Toys for Tots campaign during October and November. Tony Britton handed
