Trivia Night

Cater to everyone's competitive spirit and raise money at the same time by organizing a trivia night! Find a local bar or restaurant with a private room that your group can rent for the evening. The establishment may even offer a rental discount since it's for a good cause, and because they'll be making money on the food and beverages people order while they're playing trivia games. Or, if you want to get in on some of that income, find a venue like a church meeting room or a school auditorium, and sell finger foods, sweet treats, and beverages for players to enjoy. Find out if your city has a trivia game provider. If so, ask if they're willing to donate their service for one night. Or, you can just as easily put together your own trivia challenges with trivia board game cards, a microphone, and a volunteer to act as emcee. Charge a flat fee for people to participate in the trivia contests. Create both individual and team challenges, and if you make it a family event, a special round for kids. Don't forget to offer prizes for the winners, which can be gift certificates to local stores or restaurants, or even small trophies.
