Coles County’s Habitat for Humanity will be sponsoring its third annual Trivia Night at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday at The Parish Hall of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church.

Frank McCormick, coordinator of the event and emeritus Eastern English professor, said the organization will use the money raised for building materials for the homes that they will be instructing next spring and summer in Charleston and Mattoon.

He said if enough money is raised, the organization will also look into building homes in other areas of Coles County.

McCormick said previous response trivia events held by Coles County’s Habitat for Humanity has been positive and hopes the same results will be emulated at this year’s event.

“It’s been encouraging,” he said. “We had 22 teams last November, and we’re hoping to have that many or even more this year.”

At the event, teams of six to 10 players will answer 10 questions from 10 different categories ranging in various subject matters.

“We will have topics that range from top songs to geography questions,” he said. “Each category has different questions.”

The entrance fee is $10 per person. Each member of the winning team will be awarded a prize of $20.

Proceeds will be used to support Coles County Habitat for Humanity in its goal of building three homes per year for deserving Coles County families in need that match specified criteria.

Team members may bring their own snacks. Desserts will be available for purchase. Soda will be provided free of charge.

Doors for the event will open at 6:30 p.m. The game will begin at 7 p.m.

St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church is located at 921 Madison Avenue in Charleston.
