Fort Wayne residents have a new reason to gather on October 15 for a night of friendly competition and community service. WOWO, the beloved local radio station, is hosting its first‑ever Penny Pitch Trivia Night, an event designed to bring neighbors together while raising funds for a worthy cause.
Event details
The trivia night will be held at a local venue (exact location to be announced) and is co‑hosted by WOWO personalities Kayla Blakeslee and Josh Williams. Tickets are $30 per person, and a reserved table for eight is also available for groups who want to sit together. Attendees must be 21 or older, and space is limited, so early registration is encouraged.
What’s on the agenda
Participants can expect a lively mix of trivia questions covering a range of topics, from pop culture to history, all set against a backdrop of good food and drinks. In addition to the quiz, the evening will feature raffles and other surprises that add to the festive atmosphere. The event is marketed as an “unforgettable night of fun for a great cause,” emphasizing both entertainment and philanthropy.
Supporting the Northeast Indiana Base Community Council
All proceeds from the trivia night will be donated to the Northeast Indiana Base Community Council (NIBCC), the recipient of the 79th Annual WOWO Penny Pitch. The NIBCC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting military members, veterans, and their families throughout Northeast Indiana. Through community partnerships, resources, and programs, the council helps address the unique challenges faced by service‑connected families, from financial assistance to counseling services.
Why this matters
Events like the Penny Pitch Trivia Night underscore the importance of local initiatives that strengthen the social fabric of our region. By combining entertainment with charitable giving, WOWO is fostering a sense of shared responsibility among residents. Supporting veterans and their families aligns with the community’s long‑standing values of service, sacrifice, and neighborly care.
How to get involved
Those interested in attending can purchase tickets through the WOWO website or by calling the station’s ticket line. Groups are encouraged to reserve a table of eight to ensure they can compete together. For anyone unable to attend, the NIBCC also accepts direct donations, allowing supporters to contribute even if they cannot join the trivia fun.
Looking ahead
WOWO plans to make the Penny Pitch Trivia Night an annual tradition, with future editions potentially supporting additional community causes. The station’s commitment to local philanthropy reflects its broader mission to serve the Northeast Indiana area not only through news and music but also through tangible community impact.
Mark your calendars, gather your smartest friends, and prepare for an evening where knowledge meets generosity. Together, we can make a difference for those who have given so much to our country.
