No Trivial Matter!

 

VOICES hosted our 3rd annual Trivial Challenge May 7th. It's a light-hearted way for us to expand our circle of child advocates, reaching out - especially - to the business community, an opportunity to have fun and increase awareness of the status of child well-being in San Antonio. Each trivia category ends with two questions about children.

 

Billed as an evening of “cerebration”, table teams of ten collaborate to answer trivia questions in seven categories.  Competitive spirits run high, but everyone is a winner with high- and low-scoring team members receiving nearly-coveted prizes.

 

ULTIMATE GEEK PENThe high-scoring "Electric Avenue," team headed by Table Captain, Chris Martinez, Voices Board Member and Vice President  of Central Electric all received a five function "Ultimate Geek Pen."

Low-scoring, but high spirited "Go Getters ", headed by Table Captain, JoAnn Siller of Positive Beginnings, Inc. all received a "backwards clock" that runs in reverse, but keeps good time with a reflective arrangement of numbers on its face!

Over 40 raffle items were awarded throughout the evening culminating with  two round trip tickets on Southwest Airlines good for travel anywhere Southwest flies!

 

 

A big thank you to our sponsors!
