Wow, what a night to be back in action at ADC, thank you so much to everyone who made it to the Perfect Pairing Trivia Night, we are so grateful for your support! It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces competing in our (admittedly very challenging) trivia rounds.
Huge thanks of course have to go to The Hot Chicken Project and especially Laura Viva for making it all happen at their venue. We're so grateful for the opportunity to kick off our fundraising campaign with our first live event at our favourite chicken/wine/good vibes spot.
The night was hosted by none other than PJ White, local theatre/comedy/trivia legend, thanks for your time and support! We had some generous prize donations from local artist Lisa Hunter, wine from THCP, PT sessions from Strength And Serenity, Reiki from Healings with Tori Lea, and some gorgeous handmade earrings from Tobii Jewellery. Thanks have to go to Laura, Jayson, Xavier and Xavier for their trivia questions, perhaps next time we won't go so hard on the difficulty level!
And now for a big announcement:
