On Saturday, November 3rd, over 100 people filled Leaside United’s gym to participate in a fundraiser Trivia Night in support of El Hogar. The theme this year was …Canada!
The competition was fierce, the cheers loud and the excitement high. Everyone enjoyed good food and drink – and good company! After eight rounds of Canadian trivia covering topics such as, movies, music, politics and geography, it came down to a tie for first place. After a short tie break round, “Blame it on Julie” eked out a win over “True North”. (Do you know the only year that Canada has sent a men’s team to the FIFA World Cup?)
Close to $3000 was raised in support of El Hogar in Honduras. Leaside United will be sending a team of 11 to visit El Hogar in March 2019. The team would like to thank all who came to play, or sent donations. Muchas gracias!
Oh, and by the way, the answer is 1986, that was the last time Canada sent a team to the World Cup!
Thank you to Murray Fenner for taking these photos of the event:
