Trivia time
More than 200 competed in “Are You Smarter Than a Breakthrough Student?” held at Saint Arnold Brewery. The new event benefitted the education non-profit Breakthrough Houston, raising $175,000. Teams of eight competed in trivia questions taken from Breakthrough Houston’s middle school curriculum. For example, who was the only woman to serve as first lady in two separate administrations? Only a few people knew the answer (Dolley Madison). David Gow and Carla Dawson, hosts of The Boss and the Gloss podcast, served as quizmasters, rallying the crowd and encouraging extra donations. The event was chaired by Anna and Brad Eastman, Emily and Joe Morrel, and Michele and Charles Still. The winning Brainy Broads are Leslie Sasser, Jennifer Nwogwugwu, Jennifer Laporte, Sebha Ali, Jennifer Ligums, Elizabeth Leykum and Ruthie Miller.
