The Civics Challenge is a one-of-a-kind fundraising event where teams match wits against other teams in an exciting evening of trivia and dessert.
At the event, you’ll celebrate and test your knowledge of what made America great. But you don’t need to be an expert. This is a team activity interlocked in a fun, fast-paced, game-show atmosphere.
You can put together your own team to occupy a table of eight or, if you prefer, you can join a team with other participants. Either way, you and your team will be presented with a wide variety of multiple-choice questions on American government, history, economics, and a featured book.
Your team will collectively select answers, which will then be tabulated and added to your team’s score. Real-time results will be displayed showing how each team is doing in the standings.
You’ll even have a chance to purchase clues that are up for auction to assist your team and give you an edge on the competition. In addition to the iconic traveling trophy, top teams compete for $1,800 in restaurant prizes.
Most importantly, by sponsoring or attending, you’re supporting the mission of IPS to teach others God’s design for government—all while laughing, learning, eating, and competing!
