Game-showing and giving back!

Since Tuesday Trivia with Matt began back in March 2020, winning teams were offered a prize for earning first place. The prize was $25 that they could choose to donate to a charity or organization of their choice, or get in the form of a gift card to a small business online or in their hometown. It was our little way of giving back to the community during a very challenging time, and one that we have continued to do for over 150 weeks! Some TTWM teams have even opted to match the donation with additional funds from their own pockets.

Here’s Your Host has also collaborated with several different organizations across the country to host fundraising game shows, not only to bring in money, but to raise awareness for some great causes and groups. Additionally, game show services have been donated to various organizations to offer as auction packages at their fundraisers (if you are planning a fundraiser, I’d love to donate a game to your auction!)

When you combine the weekly TTWM prize donations with the funds raised during special fundraising shows, the grand total of community support is over $18,000!
