Teamwork Trivia quizzes the North Reading High School Football Club

/in /by

Fun night out for the parents of the North Reading Football Club. On October 2, 2009, the Wakefield Elks was the venue for the 150 parents to raise money for their kids sports programs. The energetic parent’s group were good sports as the questions were answered. The raffles, held in between rounds were a good value for the lucky ticket holders – local businesses were very generous. The 50-50 Raffle topped $300.00. The North Reading arranged this event by going to www.TeamworkTrivia.com

Tewksbury Memorial H. S. Parent Advisory Council : A $6000.00 Trivia Success

/1 Comment/in /by

The sold-out, Tewksbury Country Club was the scene for the second annual TeamworkTrivia fundraiser for Tewksbury Memorial HS Parent Advisory Council, on April 9th, 2009. The event’s bottom line was about $6000.00.

The lively 330 players enjoyed a “fun night out” with lots of food, drink and trivia competition. Three tables entered the last round tied for first place. 12 tables were within 10 points, at that moment. The first place table and second place table got a substantial cash prize. Twenty raffle winners got an extra gift, too.

Six different Tewksbury schools were represented in the audience by securing entire tables.

It seemed that everyone was looking forward to next year’s 2010 edition! Early notice (contact me) sheets were collected to alert parents when tickets go on sale.

“Dress Code”, new feature for your table

/in /by

For Teamwork Trivia Nights:
“Dress Code” is in effect!

Simply, if all your TABLE MEMBERS, dress up “themselves” or their “table” with any kind of costume or decoration. The table begins the game with 10 bonus points – since most games are decided by less than 5 points, this is a big advantage. Of course, this makes the night’s atmosphere more fun, too!
Popular themes like: School colors, Mardi Gras, 4th of July, beach bum – Jimmy Buffett, St.Pat’s, Halloween, etc…
