The Mobile’s Brightest Company Charitable Trivia Competition, which benefits charities statewide, is gearing up for its second annual contest on March 15 at the Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza.

The event, which runs from 6 to 8 p.m., pits companies from the Mobile region against each other in an evening of trivia to raise money both for Impact Alabama and the winning teams’ selected charities.

A contribution of $500 from each competing company to Impact Alabama serves as an entrance fee and entitles the company to field a team of up to six employees. A team then plays for a chance to win up to $20,000 for the Alabama charity of its choosing. Companies may sponsor multiple teams.

Topics include current events, arts and culture, sports, science, geography and history. A cash bar and complimentary hors d’oeuvres will be available at each competition site throughout the evening.

A final round of competition pits winners in each of the four cities- Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, and Huntsville- for the overall title.

Birmingham- based Impact Alabama, founded by Stephen Black, is a non-profit that develops service learning opportunities in coordination with colleges and universities across Alabama.
