Trivia Challenge

2010 Trivia Challenge

Schools from all over Nassau County participate in the year round Trivia Challenge event and raise significant funds for ucpn.  Now in its 25th year the Trivia Challenge event brings students with great minds and good hearts together to help raise funds to benefit the programs and services ucpn provides for over 1,800 children and adults challenged by disabilities.  Over the years this event has generated almost a million dollars for ucpn.

NEFCU; Nassau Educators Federal Credit Union generously sponsored the event in this anniversary year.

Trivia challenge is a fundraising event for students throughout Nassau County in grades

3 – 12.  Students are grouped in teams to take the 100-question test.  The students then ask their family and friends to sponsor them for each correct answer on the test or by a flat donation. 

The Championship round of Trivia Challenge was held at ucpn on February 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th.  All parents, siblings, fellow classmates, teachers and administrators attended and cheered on their school’s winning team to compete for the trophy cup. Representatives from NEFCU were in attendance to support the event and talk about the benefits they provide to their members.
