For the Love of Education Trivia

The Partnership for Educational Excellence is gearing up for an exciting trivia night on Saturday, Feb. 4. The evening will benefit the Partnership’s programs that benefit CUSD7 students through classroom grants and academic tuition scholarships of $1,000 per student.

The “For the Love of Education” Trivia Night will be held at the Gillespie Civic Center, 115 North Macoupin (behind the firehouse). Doors open at 6 p.m. and the competition begins at 7 p.m. Mulligans will be for sale; lightning rounds will keep the evening lively; and a variety of door prizes will be awarded. Trivia contestants are invited to bring their own beverages and snacks. Alcoholic beverages are permitted with a photo I.D.

The fee is only $100 per table, up to 10 people per team. A highlight of the evening will be the kickoff of The Partnership’s Annual Grand Raffle. Ticket sales will begin that night, and two early bird prizes of $100 each will be awarded. The winners’ tickets will then be returned to the “pot” for a second chance at the grand prize. The grand prize of $5,000 – or 50/50 if not all tickets are sold – will be awarded on Palm Sunday (April 2). Only 500 tickets will be sold; ticket price is $20.
