It came down to the wire between two teams at the 5th annual Stewart Memorial Community Hospital Auxiliary Trivia Night fundraiser. Wade Voith’s team battled Mary Reiter’s team, Bowling in Iowa, which ultimately scored the victory. While only one team can claim first place and bragging rights for the year, every team shares in the fun of the annual fundraiser.
“This event is our primary fundraiser to help support our Patient Centered Healing Environment project. The funds will be used to transform areas used most by patients in the medical clinics including upgrading bathrooms to meet ADA requirements,” says Mary Ludwig, director of marketing, development, and volunteers at SMCH.
Twenty-nine teams competed in the event, held at Opportunity Living in Lake City on February 3rd . Brad “Big Daddy” Addison served as the Quiz Master, adding fun and humor to the night’s festivities.
In addition to trivia, teams participated in “Dead or Alive” and “Heads or Tails,” trying to guess if a famous figure is still alive and if a question is true or false. Teams also earned points by decorating their tables, dressing alike, and playing Name That Tune.
Organizers of the event, SMCH Auxiliary members Toni Kerns, Marci Duncan, Marie Schwarm, Mary Ludwig, Jayne Wilhelm, Kathy Baker, and Mary Sporleder were pleased to see a lot of team spirit.
“Many teams dressed in costume including Shark Week, Ghostbusters, nuns, tropics, favorite sports teams, and the candy Smarties,” says Ludwig.
