In the heart of our bustling town, one local restaurant (Eastside Eatery) has found a unique way to blend entertainment with altruism, all while keeping its tables filled and spirits high. Several times a month, this cozy establishment hosts a Charity Trivia Night, a lively event that not only challenges the minds of participants but also warms the hearts of the community.
The concept is simple yet brilliant: teams gather to test their knowledge across various categories, from history and pop culture to science and literature. But what sets this trivia night apart is its purpose—to raise funds for local charities and causes that are close to the hearts of both the restaurant staff and its patrons.
The cost is only $10 per person, with teams consisting of 2-8 people. The Kinette Club of Brandon, Paws Crossed Animal Shelter & Adoption Centre, Special Olympics Westman and Cats TNR & Rescue are among the charities who have benefited from these events to date.
The atmosphere on trivia nights is electric, with teams strategizing over questions, cheering for correct answers, and playfully ribbing each other over the ones that stump them. The restaurant buzzes with energy as friends, families, and even strangers bond over a shared love for trivia and a shared commitment to making a positive impact.
For Eastside Eatery owners and staff, seeing their establishment packed to the brim with laughter and goodwill is its own reward. Not only does Charity Trivia Night keep their business thriving, but it also reaffirms their belief in the power of community and the importance of giving back.
As the night draws to a close, winners are announced, prizes are awarded, and the total amount raised for the chosen charity is revealed. But beyond the final score, what truly matters is the sense of unity and purpose that permeates the room—a reminder that even in the midst of our busy lives, we can always find time to come together, have fun, and make a difference.
