SBA is hosting its annual public interest auction- this year featuring a TRIVIA NIGHT!  The event will be held on Friday, March 24, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at the Portage Country Club, located at 240 North Portage Path, Akron, OH 44303.

Purchase your tickets and/or register a trivia team at: https://commerce.cashnet.com/LAWORG

This event raises funds for Akron Law’s public interest fellowship, which provides stipends to students working in public interest jobs that would not otherwise be paid.  If you wish to receive a stipend from the Public Interest fund, you must attend the auction or otherwise contribute to the event.

Show off your trivia knowledge with teams of up to six people, and engage in some friendly competition with your classmates, professors, and the Akron legal community! Questions will cover a large range of categories including entertainment, geography, sports, and even local trivia!

Between rounds of trivia, we will have several items up for live auction, and a silent auction will be accessible throughout the evening.  Items up for auction this year include a J.R. Smith autographed jersey and shirt, Lake Erie Monsters tickets, a round of golf for four at Shaker Heights Country Club, dinners with your favorite professors, and much more!

Tickets for the evening are $10 for students/guests of students and $20 for anyone else.  All are welcome to attend.  Registration for a trivia team of 6 people is an additional $20.  All proceeds from this event will go to the Akron Law Public Interest Fellowship Fund. Please direct any questions to Haley Martinelli at hkm8@zips.uakron.edu or ask your SBA Class Representatives.
