The event will benefit special needs, varying abilities, and at-risk children by raising money to support educational, social, and therapeutic programs that these children require enabling them to live more fulfilling lives full of opportunity. We will be teaming up with both local (to southern Illinois) and nationwide charity foundations and special needs facilities that align with our mission to distribute the money we raise at our event. Hosted in partnership with Golden Gala Sponsor, Little Egypt Pediatric Dentistry, and the TLD Charity Foundation.

Beneficiaries of this event include: Easterseals Midwest, Federation for Children with Special Needs, Autism Society of Southern Illinois, Hadley's Haven, Gumdrops, and special needs programs in local school districts throughout the southern Illinois region through the help of the TLD Charity Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity organization (EIN: 87-1779299). This means that your contribution to our event is tax deductible and completely appreciated.

Trivia Competition Rules, Prize, and Play

1. Your table is your team (no more than 8 members per team)
2. Our winning team will be awarded a cash prize, so NO USE OF TECHNOLOGY permitted at tables during rounds of play and no yelling answers out during play
3. There will be 3 Rounds of 5 questions per round followed by a two-team final where the teams will join us on stage to duel it out and crown our champions! (the final round will consist of the two teams with the highest point total from rounds 1-3)
4. Prior to the completion of Round 1, teams will be asked to supply a team name and ‘wager amount’. This monetary amount will be split between our fundraising efforts for the evening and the prize pot for the winning team. (This wager is of course optional and can be any amount agreed upon by each individual team/table and collected prior to the beginning of Round 2, via credit card, cash, Venmo, or PayPal)
5. Ties will be decided by ‘wager amounts’ (i.e. a higher wager amount breaks the tie)
