Rockville Centre Trivia Challenge celebrates 27 years

Schools from all over Nassau County participate in the year-round Trivia Challenge event and raise significant funds for the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County, Inc. (ucpn). Now in its 27th year, the challenge brings students with great minds and good hearts together to help raise funds to benefit the programs and services that the ucpn provides for more than 1,800 children and adults challenged by disabilities. 

The 2012 Trivia Challenge finals were held during the week of Feb. 27 at ucpn in Roosevelt. Two teams from the fifth and seventh grades at St. Agnes Cathedral School participated.

  Charles Evdos, ucpn’s development director, thanked all the students, teachers and family members for their generosity and support. The ucpn has been assisting individuals with disabilities since 1948 and is the only site in the tri-state area that offers training on the ReWalk device, an exoskeleton that helps people with spinal cord injuries to be able to stand and walk. Funds raised through the Trivia Challenge help fund the ReWalk program and other vital programs like it at the not-for-profit agency.
