American Heart Association Trivia Night ABOUT THE EVENT The American Heart Association Trivia Night is a legacy independent service project that raises money for The American Heart Association. The money will go towards research, education and training, and service in the community. The organization process for this event began in November 2016, contacting businesses, creating trivia questions, and working as a team to make the event come to life. On February 8th, 2017, 249 participants gathered in Canton High School’s cafeteria to eat pizza and compete in seven rounds of trivia. The �rst place prize and pizza for the event were both generously donated from local businesses. This event in total raised $3,735, exceeding all expectations.
