FAQs

Is Trivia Night a fundraiser? NO! Trivia night is an adults-only community-building event! The registration fee goes toward renting the event space, paying the trivia host, and providing some light refreshments. The SSA budgets to break even on the event, rather than make a profit. Note: all proceeds from the 50/50 raffle and mulligans will go to the SSA.

Is there a theme? Every good party needs a theme! We are continuing with the ROCKStar theme from Dance-a-Thon, so attendees are encouraged--but not required--to come dressed for the theme!

What should I bring to Trivia Night? Besides your Trivia 'A' Game, all you need is yourself and a few good friends! Some teams bring table decorations to add to the festivity, and attendees can bring snacks, dinner and/or beverages (alcoholic beverages are permitted!).
