NEF's Trivia Night Raises $11,300 for Schools

Northborough Education Foundation (NEF)‘s Team Trivia Night was a battle through 5 rounds of questions including local history, politics, pop culture, science, and sports, but it was team Pigs Might Fly that had the winning score. This was a huge win as team Let’s Look it Up (aka The Librarians) has held the winning title for the past four years. Let’s Look it Up came in second place this year.

The event was held at Acacia at Indian Meadows in Westborough and was made possible by event sponsor Marlborough Savings Bank and event supporters Capital Environmental, St. Mary’s Credit Union, and realtor Karen Scopetski.

Participation in this year’s event increased substantially with 15 more registered teams than in 2014 and proceeds almost quadrupled. A silent auction was also held and assisted in the evening’s success.

The next event being planned by NEF is the annual Princess Tea which will be held on Saturday, May 9, 2 pm – 4 pm at Algonquin Regional High School. Guest appearances from Elsa and Cinderella are scheduled. Registration information can be found at www.northboroughed.org.
