About 30,000 bottles of water were delivered to Flint on Thursday afternoon, compliments of Washtenaw County residents.

And large brands have never shied away from spending big dollars on advertising during the game – spending upwards of $4.5 million for a 30-second commercial. Yet, for the first time Super Bowl organizers are taking this captive audience to create a force for good, asking consumers to play a part in making the event the "most healthy, sustainable, shared, and socially responsible Super Bowl ever."
