On October 27, the Alaska World Affairs Council’s annual fundraiser brought together trivia enthusiasts, creative costumes, friendly competition, and a whole lot of community spirit for a memorable evening in support of global education and programming across Alaska.
From testing teams’ knowledge of world affairs and international culture to celebrating some wonderfully creative costumes, the evening was a reminder that learning about the world can be both meaningful and fun.
A special thank-you to our fantastic emcee, Jen Motyka, for keeping the energy high and the competition lively throughout the evening. We are also grateful to our staff, board members, and volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make the event a success.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Alaska Airlines for generously donating two round-trip tickets for our travel raffle. A special thank-you also goes to the generous businesses and individuals who contributed items and experiences to our silent auction:
