## Event Details

Join us for our penultimate trivia night of 2025 as we celebrate the season with a festive evening full of questions about holiday movies, music, traditions and pop culture moments. It doesn't matter whether you’re a fan of frosty films, seasonal songs, or global celebrations, there’s something for everyone. Bring your cheer, your brainpower, and your competitive spirit to compete for popular prizes... but no fruitcake allowed!
So, gather your friends, form a team and join us for an evening filled with fun questions, friendly competition and a secret bonus round.

Register on the Shubert Site, then come back here to say you are going. We will MeetUp right after you enter the auditorium, and select a section for seats.

THIS EVENT IS FREE but please register on their site with link above, so they will know how many people are attending. Also sign up here, so we can get a section of seats together. Seating is first come, first serve, so the earlier the better.

36th Annual Trees of Hope | RMHC of CT & Western MA
Since 1990, Trees of Hope has served as a holiday tradition in Greater New Haven. This event is open to the public and will feature over 160 beautiful holiday displays donated and sponsored by individuals, local businesses and community organizations. Raffle tickets are sold for $1 each and attendees will be able to distribute their tickets towards the displays they would like to win on our raffle platform. It is a fun event for the entire family and a perfect way to get in the holiday spirit and kick off this special season. Trees of Hope is our largest fundraising event and therefore, instrumental in securing the funds necessary to support the brave children and families at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Connecticut and Western Massachusetts.
Here is a link to a video from last year.

As you enter the building, we will meet on the right-hand side near the entrance. I believe there are elevators there. We will proceed towards the raffle ticket / information table by 1:05PM. I plan on getting a raffle information sheet there so I can decide which trees to put my raffle tickets (that I will be purchasing) towards.

**No pressure to buy raffle tickets, BUT, this is one of my favorite fundraising events in New Haven.**
Please notify in the comments if you are running late so I can keep an eye out for you.
Any questions, let me know.
