St. Giles Men's Society Sports Trivia Night

Info on Sports Trivia 9 (held Feb 25, 2017):

Our goal for Sports Trivia 9 is to raise sufficient funds to sponsor four students at Christ the King by becoming a partner in the Corporate Work Study Program. In addition, those students will work at a non-profit on the West Side specially selected by the Trivia Committee. The result will be two levels of support to our local community.

First, through its Corporate Work Study Program, CTK students earn nearly three-quarters of their tuition while also gaining valuable mentoring and job experience. The Corporate Work Study relationship typically includes a job partner paying the school directly for student tuition in exchange for providing a work-study opportunity for CTK students during the school year at their office. CTK’s job partners include many of Chicago’s most prestigious corporations, banks, firms and non-profit organizations. In the cases like ours (where the partnership comes from a donation), the students’ work options are more flexible, extending to non-profit organizations.

So the second level of support will come as the students sponsored will work not for a corporation, but for a local non-profit. The Sports Trivia Committee is helping select a non-profit that will benefit from having four CTK student-workers and which is on the West Side. Students will actively support the non-profit's mission, while also gaining invaluable, real world experience. Selection of the non-profit job partner is ongoing, and our Committee is focusing on groups that support families and children on Chicago’s West Side.

All told, four high school students will have access to CTK’s unique educational and work-study opportunities, and a local non-profit organization will gain valuable support for its programs. The result: changed lives and futures transformed.

Please help us achieve our goal, and help Christ the King H.S. expand its mission by sponsorting for students while also supporting a local non-profit organization. Join us for Sports Trivia 9!
