Trivia Throwdown SUCCESS!!

We had a great night with some fantastic people coming out to support NBCR. Jay and John at Rose Alley Ale House helped us put on a great event, Mike from Cork came to support us and helped us get things situated. The trivia DJ was awesome and Larissa McLaughlin did an incredible job putting it all together.

Many thanks to the teams that came to play and to the staff at Rose Alley who took great care of us. Special thanks to those that weren't able to make it, but still donated money or advertised for us anyway. We were able to spread the word about what we're doing and what our mission is and we even got a few recruits! And to top it all off...we raised $600!!!!! That includes some t-shirt sales, but that's also after we paid out the first place prize of $150 and paid the DJ. With that money, we can purchase one used ergometer to use for winter training (which starts on Monday). We're borrowing three machines thanks to the generosity of Rachel Eisenhaure, Anne Eisenmenger & Pat Lester, and Betts & Wisner Murray. That will bring our total up to 5 machines with more to come!

So, all in all we had a very successful night of fun and laughs and you can plan on us repeating. Come January, we're going to hold Trivia Throwdown monthly - plan for it now and start studying!!!
