Two-Minute Drill: Inaugural Trivia Night a Huge Success

Southeast Missouri State University

The Southeast Missouri Department of Athletics held its inaugural Redhawks Trivia Night and Auction on October 15, 2016, at the Show Me Center. The event was presented by The Bank of Missouri.

In total, over $45,000 was raised for SEMO Athletics.

The event sold out in its first year, hosting 50 teams and over 400 people. The event featured eight rounds of various trivia categories, a live and silent auction, a celebrity wing-eating contest, and a 50/50 raffle. Food and drinks were all included.

The live auction was highlighted by several outstanding packages, including a private Mexican Dinner for eight hosted by Southeast President Dr. Carlos and Pam Vargas at Wildwood, as well as exclusive packages to the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Blues.

Participants had a chance to interact with coaches and student-athletes throughout the evening. Coaches and student-athletes rotated to different tables each round to help answer trivia questions, and student-athletes served as hosts for each table.

Erik Sean, SEMO ESPN Radio play-by-play announcer and voice of the Redhawks, emceed the event.

The date for next year’s event is already set. The second annual Redhawks Trivia Night & Auction will be held on Saturday, October 7, 2017 at the Show Me Center.
