BC & Alberta Guide Dogs is taking its trivia night virtual to raise much-needed funds while maintaining physical distancing.
The Ladner-based non-profit is hosting a Virtual Trivia Night on Saturday, April 25 at 6 p.m. Funds raised will help the organization continue to provide life-changing guide dogs, autism service dogs and PTSD service dogs to those in need.
Many charities are facing uncertainty as the COVID-19 pandemic causes disruption to critical fundraising opportunities, and that has been true for BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. Two in-person events and several other third-party events that were scheduled for this spring have been postponed, leaving the organization to get creative with online revenue ideas.
“Our in-person trivia nights in Calgary and Delta are so much fun and are our most attended events in both provinces,” says Joni Wright, director of development and communications at BC & Alberta Guide Dogs. “We want to re-create this positive atmosphere for our supporters online.”
Tuning in to the Virtual Trivia Night is simple. The live game link will be sent to a player’s email an hour before the game starts, so no app download is necessary, just click and play. Players will be joining from across the country to compete for the 2020 Virtual Trivia Night champion title and puppy sponsorship prizes such as naming a future puppy.
Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased online at www.bcandalbertaguidedogs.com. Make sure to sign up early to receive game tips and information prior to the event. Virtual Trivia Night is generously sponsored by Ledcor Group.
BC & Alberta Guide Dogs is a registered charity that breeds, raises and professionally trains guide dogs for individuals who are blind or visually-impaired, autism service dogs for children and PTSD service dogs for veterans and first responders.
