Battle for a Greater Cause
Battle of the Brains is our YMCA’s annual trivia fundraiser to help our charity be inclusive for all and eliminate financial barriers to being healthy.
100% of proceeds will support our membership financial assistance program, giving people of all ages the opportunity to participate and stay active.
Besides giving back, trivia night is also a friendly competition where up to 30 teams of 4-6 people use their maximum brain power to answer 10 rounds of questions, vying for the title of Battle of the Brains Champions and bragging rights, of course.
The event is great for Corporate team-building, staff socials, community-minded businesses and trivia lovers who want to give back!
This year’s event will take place on Saturday, November 8 at Frank Rudderham YMCA on 399 Charlotte Street in Sydney. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., event begins at 7:00 p.m. Battle of the Brains is a licensed event with food included (19+ event).
