This means it is time for you to think about your Trivia Knight Table theme and to recruit your smartest friends for the Law Enforcement Trivia Knight to Benefit Special Olympics Illinois! We had a great time last year and would love to have you join us at this year’s event!

All of the money raised at the event goes to support Special Olympics Illinois athletes. I challenge you to bring out your trivia team and recruit another one. That way when you win you can brag that you are smarter than the friends you brought along! Entry fee is considered a donation to Special Olympics and is tax deductible. 

Please bring your friends out to support a great cause!
