Music, Laughter, and Over $18,000 Raised: A Look Back at Our Music Trivia Night
What happens when you combine great music, friendly competition, generous sponsors, and a community that truly cares?
You get a night like our recent Music Trivia Night - an evening filled with laughter, connection, and purpose that resulted in over $18,000 raised in support of Alleluia Baskets.
It was more than just a fundraiser. It was a celebration of community.
A Sold-Out Night and a Record Turnout
This year’s Music Trivia Night was officially sold out, welcoming a record number of attendees. Seeing the room filled to capacity was powerful. Every seat taken represented someone choosing to invest their time and resources into supporting families served by Alleluia Baskets.
From the moment guests arrived, the energy was undeniable. Tables were thoughtfully decorated, teams arrived ready with clever names, and friendly rivalries began before the first trivia question was even asked.
The full room created a momentum that carried throughout the evening. The laughter was louder. The cheers were bigger. The generosity was unmistakable.
This record-setting turnout is a testament to the strength of this community and the growing impact of our mission.
Music, Fun and Meaningful Connection
Music has a way of bringing people together across generations, and that connection was on full display all night long.
Teams huddled over answer sheets, debated lyrics with confidence, and occasionally burst into song when a familiar tune played. The mix of classic hits and modern favorites kept everyone engaged and energized.
Several attendees even showed up sporting their favorite band T-shirts, sparking conversations and adding an extra layer of fun and personality to the evening. It was a reminder that while we gathered for a serious mission, joy and celebration have a place in the work we do.
But while trivia brought the fun, the mission brought the meaning.
Over $18,000 raised - and Real Impact Ahead
Thanks to the of the generosity of our attendees, sponsors, donors, and volunteers, we raised over $18,000 to support the mission of Alleluia Baskets.
That number represents real families who will receive comfort and practical support during difficult seasons of life. It represents encouragement delivered at just the right time. It represents hope placed directly into someone’s hands.
Every table purchased.
Every raffle entry submitted.
Every silent auction bid placed.
Every sponsorship committed.
Every volunteer hour given.
It all added up to something powerful.
This community didn’t just attend an event - it made a tangible difference.
Raffle Excitement and Silent Auction Highlights
The raffle tables were buzzing throughout the evening. Guests carefully considered their options, dropped in tickets with hopeful anticipation, and celebrated as winners were announced. The excitement was contagious.
The silent auction added another layer of energy to the night. Bidding was lively from start to finish, with guests returning throughout the evening to check on their favorite items and place competitive bids.
Among the standout pieces was a beautiful embroidered quilt - generously donated by Darlene Hirtz - that drew admiration all night long. Its intricate stitching and thoughtful craftsmanship made it more than just an auction item - it was a true work of art. Guests paused to study the detail and appreciate the care woven into every thread. The quilt became a fitting symbol of the evening itself: generosity, intention, and community stitched together for a greater purpose.
In addition to the quilt, guests bid on thoughtfully curated gift baskets, unique experiences, and beloved local favorites. Watching bids steadily climb was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community rallies behind a mission.
