The High Country Caregiver Foundation (HCCF) will host
its semiannual Trivia Night Challenge on April 25 at the La Quinta
Inn in Boone.
HCCF is a nonprofit organization that has set out to offer Avery
and Watauga caregivers the support and relief they so greatly
deserve, a spokesperson for the foundation said. HCCF met and
exceeded their financial goal last year and will seek to raise
the bar even higher this year with their fundraising efforts in
both Watauga and Avery counties, the spokesperson said. The charity
has serviced more than 41 caregivers with respite care.
“Last year’s Trivia Challenge was a tremendous success
for the foundation, and we predict this fun-filled event will
be even bigger than the first one. We are asking community members,
businesses, civic clubs and individuals to help us in supporting
these caregivers by participating,” said Brenda Reece, executive
director of HCCF.
Back by popular demand, Buzz Berry, host of local game show “Sqrambled
Scuares,” and MTN-TV host Bill “Fish” Fisher will
emcee the event.
“The trivia challenge will be an exciting evening where teams
can match wits to earn prizes and bragging rights,” Reece
said.
The admission fee of $20 includes prizes for each round, food,
soft drinks and “plenty of laughs,” she said.
The reception begins at 6 p.m., when guests can purchase raffle
tickets, enjoy their food and meet this year’s sponsors and
hosts. A cash bar will be available for wine and beer purchases.
The trivia competition begins at 7 p.m. Teams of five to 10 players
will be quizzed on a variety of general knowledge subjects.
