The North Haven Education Foundation is excited to announce that they will be hosting a Trivia Night fundraising event benefitting the North Haven school system on May 13.

The event, which will aid all six schools in town, is guaranteed to be a fun night out.

"We, the North Haven Education Foundation, are holding our first fundraiser since 2019 (due to Covid) and we couldn't be more thrilled to do so," said Kathy Rocklin, chair of Trivia Night.

Trivia Night will be held on Friday May 13th at the Hook and Ladder at the Best Western in North Haven from 7-9 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. Online ticket sales close on May 6 to guarantee entry. However, tickets will be sold at the door.

The NHEF was started in 2004 as a non-profit organization whose purpose was to bridge the gap between what the town could afford to give to the school system and what other things the system still really needed.

In the past 18 years, the NHEF has raised over $800,000. Some of the projects funded by the Education Foundation include the technology labs at the middle school, science labs at the four elementary schools, a robotics program, girls' rugby at the High School, boys' and girls' lacrosse, sports and playground equipment, along with a writing program for our staff.

Teachers and administrators can apply for funds by using NHEF's creativity grant program.

"They certainly know best what's needed," Rocklin said. "This upcoming event allows the proceeds to go right back to all six of our schools."

North Haven High School Principal Russ Dallai will be emceeing the event, followed by the band Mean Cajon playing live music from 9-11 p.m.

"We'll be raising money for our schools (your ticket is tax deductible)," Rocklin said.

"Socializing with friends and helping to make a difference in the lives of our children in our community. What's not to like?"
