Debate team holds trivia tournament

The Casper College Speech and Debate team is holding a trivia tournament fundraiser on Friday, Dec. 20, at the Casper Elks Lodge at 108 E. 7th Street in Casper.

The trivia tournament will consist of eight rounds of general knowledge trivia. Entry fees are $500 for a team of six players, $75 for a couple, and $50 for an individual. First place will receive $500, second $250 and third $100.

According to Doug Hall, director of forensics and communication instructor, the goal for the fundraiser is $15,000. Hall noted that the need for additional funds was due to the program’s growth. “The college has always been supportive of our program, but with the growth of the team, current budgetary restraints limit our ability to travel with a full squad,” he said. “We need the public’s help in providing additional funds to fully finance our travel schedule, registration fees, and supplies for our students.”

All donations received will be processed through the Casper College Foundation and are tax-deductible. For more information, contact Hall at 307-268-2496 or dhall@caspercollege.edu.
