Patriots' tight end Benjamin Watson is raffling off his pair of tickets for next Sunday's Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa, Fla. The proceeds will benefit his One More foundation.

In a press release Watson said, "I would have liked to be playing in the game. Unfortunately that didn't work out. I am glad to help Celebrities for Charity and support One More."

One grand prize winner will receive the following:

*Winner will receive Benjamin Watson's two personal tickets to Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa Bay, Florida (Raymond James Stadium, February 1, 2009) located in Section 331, Row K, Seats 7 & 8.
