Trumps and Tricks Euchre Event: A Night of Fun and Fundraising

For over twenty-one years, the Quad Cities community comes together for a special event that combines the thrill of card games with the joy of giving back. Started by Molyneaux, now AssuredPartners, the Trumps and Tricks Euchre Event is raising funds for local charities. In this article, we'll share the details of this exciting event and the organizations it supports, based on an interview with Penny Wilhelm, Vice President at AssuredPartners.

A Night of Fun and Giving

One of the unique aspects of the event is that you don't have to be a seasoned Euchre player to attend. In fact, you can join in the festivities even if you've never played the game before. Penny stressed that the event is all about having a good time while supporting two worthy causes. Whether you're a card game expert or a complete novice, there's a place for you at this event.

The event is scheduled for Thursday, November 9th, with doors opening at 5:30 PM. Attendees will be treated to heavy hors d'oeuvres and receive a drink ticket upon registration, all for a modest $40 fee. Chris Bayer, the event's new emcee, will take the reins from Matt Wilson, promising an entertaining evening for all.

Benefiting Local Charities

The event is not just about having fun; it's about making a difference in the Quad Cities community. This year, the event's proceeds will go to two deserving organizations: the Quad City Community Foundation and the YWCA of the Quad Cities. Over the years, this event has supported a total of 20 different organizations and raised nearly $318,000, a testament to the power of community giving.

A Unique Fundraiser

What sets this event apart from others is its unique approach to fundraising. While many fundraisers involve trivia nights, golf outings, or silent auctions, Tricks and Trumps Euchre brings people together to enjoy a game of cards and create an atmosphere filled with positive energy. The event's success lies not only in the funds raised, but also in the sense of camaraderie and community spirit it fosters.

Get Involved

If you're interested in participating in the Tricks and Trumps Euchre Event, there are several ways to get involved. You can register to attend the event as a player or simply make a donation. Businesses, insurance carrier partners, and community members can also explore sponsorship opportunities to support the event and the charities it benefits.

The event will be held at the Starlight Ballroom at the Mississippi Valley Fairgrounds, a spacious venue capable of accommodating a large number of participants.

Exciting Raffle Prizes

In addition to the Euchre games, attendees can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win exciting prizes. These prizes include themed baskets filled with goodies donated by various individuals and organizations. Last year's offerings included a cooking-themed basket with Pampered Chef items, showcasing the diversity of prizes available.
