Join Us for a Night of Knowledge and Fun: Trivia Night Fundraiser to Support Education!
Pinnacle Gives presents: Trivia Night, where teams of 6 will compete for a chance to win a $1,000 grand prize, which will be donated to their chosen Summit County public school. We anticipate over 200 community members in attendance!
In conjunction with the event, we will also host an online silent auction which starts in advance of the event and will close during the Trivia Night event.
All funds raised directly support innovation in public school programs — creativity, reading, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) & innovative classroom technology, including science lab materials, e-readers, and robotics materials.
The fundraiser also supports the Eileen Finkel Innovative Teacher Grants, supporting innovative & creative projects by Summit County teachers.
Write the Rockies
In collaboration with the Summit County Library and Summit County Rotary, the annual writing contest occurs every November - mid March. Open to all Summit County residents from sixth grade through adult ages, the contest offers categories in both English and Spanish. Participants may submit entries in either poetry or short stories, with distinct divisions for middle school, high school, and adult writers.
Cash prizes of $300, $200, and $100 go to first, second, and third place winners in each category. Writers can submit as many entries as they want, but only their best submission will be counted (no podium sweeps, no matter how many Booker Prizes your stories would theoretically win). All entries of quality will be collected and published in an anthology that is added to all three libraries’ collections.
Big congratulations to our 2025 incredible local writers for their amazing short story and poetry submissions!
We received over 200 powerful entries in both English and Spanish, full of imagination, creativity, and heart. Six Education Foundation Directors served as judges, evaluating each entry for originality, vivid language, strong characters, poetic form or unique writing style, and a meaningful message.
