GiveForward’s First Annual Green Trivia Charity Event a Success!!

Our first annual green trivia night took place last Thursday and proved to be a fun night full of fundraising, teamwork, wracking of brains, loud cheers, and crazy team names! (Yes, we’re talking to you, Team Mustache Rides for a Good Cause).

In total over 80 people who proved to know a lot about the environment and popular culture showed up for the event and helped raise close to $400 for Climate Cycle, a non-profit that is helping make Chicago public schools greener through the installation of solar panel energy systems  (check out their first annual bike-a-thon this Saturday, May 9 and their awesome post celebration at Grant Park). 

While some of us were stumped by questions such as:

Name one male celebrity that Madonna has NOT slept with

One team (Mustache Rides for a Good Cause) seemed to know all the answers (yes, we heard your loud victory cheers) and walked home with the $500 cash prize.   The highly favored Team Nitro Crisis came in second and walked away with a wine tasting night for 6 people at Lush Wine Shop

We, at GiveForward had a blast and want to thank our AWESOME event planning interns, Corrie, Maggie, and Christa for planning the entire event.

Also, big thanks goes out to all of our sponsors who helped make this night a success: Glee Gum, Mountains of the Moon, Ornj bags, Mary’s Gone Crackers, Say Yes to Carrots, Kiehls, Zipcar, and Lush Wine Shop, and last but not least, Mad River Bar & Grille for being such great hosts!
