Go Back to School at Oakton's 'Trivia Night' Fundraiser Aug. 27

Put on your thinking caps and come out for a night of fun and friendly competition benefiting Oakton students at Trivia Night starting at 6 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 27, at Play Book Sports Bar, 6913 North Milwaukee Avenue, Niles.

Tickets are $30 and include two drinks, appetizers, and prizes. All proceeds support student scholarships at Oakton. Attendees must be 21 years or older.

"With this event, we hope to reconnect alumni to the College and to each other," said Manager of Development and Alumni Relations Elena Couto. "However, there is much more to it as Oakton graduates, students, employees, and friends of the College can enjoy an evening of camaraderie and philanthropy. Our goal is to make this an annual tradition that supports current students, celebrates the value of education, and promotes fellowship in our community."

Sponsored by the Office of Alumni Relations and the Alumni Council, the event will be hosted by Tony Churchill, technical director for the Performing Arts Center at Oakton. An award-winning artist, writer, and educator, Churchill also collaborates on more than 100 plays and events annually throughout the United States and Europe.

Trivia Night will comprise three rounds of seven questions for teams up to six players. With a "back to school" theme, categories include English 101 (word etymology); Physical Education (sports); Western Civilization (history); Introduction to Humanities (pop culture); Art Appreciation (music/movies/art); Geography; and Recess (potpourri). In case of a tie, a playoff round will be used to determine the winning team.

Tickets must be purchased in advance by calling (847) 635-1893 or visiting www.oakton.edu/alumni.
