Cheater’s Trivia Night for the Children’s Book Bank
A group of students in the Centennial College Corporate Communications and Public Relations class of 2012 is hosting an inaugural fundraising event for local charity, the Children’s Book Bank. The MC for the evening will be Ontario Library Association’s book award nominated children’s and young adults’ author Robert Paul Weston. The highlight of the evening will be a “Cheater’s Trivia” game where contestants have the option to pay for answers to the questions. These questions will be on topics related to children’s literature. All funds raised this way will go directly to the Children’s Book Bank.
The event will be held at The Blake House restaurant and pub located at 449 Jarvis St. just south of Wellesley St. East on Monday, Nov. 21 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission or $12 for students of Centennial College and we are offering a $2 discount to anyone who brings an eligible children’s book donation. Trivia night teams can be between one and four people, so bring some friends. You can buy tickets at the Children’s Book Bank starting on November 7, 2011 or can contact the student team at cheatforacause (at) gmail.com or through Facebook and Twitter to arrange registration directly.
The Children’s Book Bank is a Toronto charity that provides free books and literacy support to families in the Regent Park and Cabbagetown South St. James Town neighborhoods.
The Corporate Communications and Public Relations department is a post-graduate program of Centennial College’s School of Communications, Media, and Design.
