On the night of Friday, February 9th, trivia enthusiasts and Friends supporters came together to Get Schooled at the 21st Annual Friends of Kids with Cancer Trivia Night, breaking the record of amount raised at nearly $38,000. In attendance were nerds, jocks, teachers, seniors, crayons, coaches, and more, competing for Best Dressed Player.
Volunteers set up the event, managed raffle tickets sales and mulligans, and waited on tables throughout the night. Balloon pop, the virtual duck race, and heads or tales games raised funds for Friends and winners took home prizes and added points to their team score.
Emceeing for the evening was Joe Marlotti, Professional Comedian, dressed as a coach complete with whistle. He did not hesitate to blow the whistle and call for laps if the crowd got a little rowdy.
Hart of the City Photo Booth donated hundreds of amazing photos, making every millennial's dream come true with a laser background for school glamour shots.
The School of Rock round was led by patient dad and Trivia planning committee member, Kurt Meisinger, who played the beginnings of famous rock tunes live on his guitar for players to identify.
A heartfelt intermission was presented by patient dad, Jeff Neu. "Friends of Kids is near and dear to me and my family, so every time I have the chance to talk to others about the impact it has on countless lives, I'm happy to be a part of it," Jeff expressed after the event.
In attendance were many long-time supporters including Board Members, Board President, Susanne Rosenburg, and many new faces who learned about Friends' mission for the first time.
By the end of this fun night, some felt smarter than a 5th grader, while others went to detention.
We want to give out our sincere gratitude to all those who made this event possible. Those who attended, volunteered, sponsored, or donated items for raffle or the bar—THANK YOU for helping kids with cancer... be kids!
