Register your Trivia Bee team for the event presented by OnPoint Credit Union and the Education Foundation for Bend-La Pine Schools.
Mark your calendars for the 11th Annual Trivia Bee, presented by OnPoint Credit Union and the Education Foundation, which will take place on Saturday, March 12 at the Tower Theatre in downtown Bend. Doors will open at 6pm with live music and delectable appetizers provided by some of Bend’s finest restaurants. Compete on a team, donate a team for teachers or just play from the audience, but hurry — space is limited and this unique event has a history of selling out in advance! Up to 49 three-person teams will be vying for bragging rights as the masters of minutiae and for the coveted championship trophy and prize for best team costumes. Please note that this is a 21 and over event. Last year, after many hard-fought rounds, the final round ended with La Pine Middle School as Champs. Be sure to challenge them this year or enjoy the event from the anonymity of your seat as an audience member. Tickets are $25 each and available at www.towertheatre.org.
The Trivia Bee is the signature fundraising event for the Education Foundation for Bend-La Pine Schools, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization with the mission of preparing our students for success and the future through exceptional educational and extracurricular opportunities. We believe that a vibrant public school system is essential to the social and economic well being of our community. Thanks to generous donor support, since 2000 we have invested nearly $2,000,000 in our schools through legacy gifts, special projects, classroom grants and activity fee scholarships. In 2015, the Trivia Bee garnered nearly $45,000 to help fund Classroom Grants to educators on a district-wide level for high impact, academically proven projects with solid implementation and evaluation plans. Funding priorities for the program are:
• To provide tools for teachers, with an emphasis on technology and science
• To support art and music programs
• To enhance community and parental involvement in our schools
