The Big Give Quiz
At 7:30 pm on Wednesday, 20 June 2012, the Big Give hosted the inaugural online Big Give Quiz. Over 200 supporters took part and helped to raise over £2,500 for a whole range of charities on the Big Give website.
Supporters were invited to take part by the Big Give and by charities who wanted teams to compete on their behalf. With every supporter’s £10 entry fee going directly to the charity of their choice, charities were able to benefit from additional donations regardless of the success of their teams.
There were 75 questions in total, with rounds ranging from riddles and general knowledge to Olympic trivia and picture rounds.
The Second Big Give Quiz took place on Wednesday 3 October 2012. Once again, the participation fees went to the charity of the participant's choosing. For the second quiz, the Big Give incorporated fewer traditional questions to reduce the opportunity for teams to surreptitiously include the internet as a team member. The winning team received a £250 voucher to give to charity through the Big Give and a £250 cash prize.

Famous quotes containing the words the big, big and/or give:
“The name of the town isn’t important. It’s the one that’s just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
“On no work of words now for three lean months in the bloody
Belly of the rich year and the big purse of my body
I bitterly take to task my poverty and craft....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
““We’ll encounter opposition, won’t we, if we give women the same education that we give to men,” Socrates says to Galucon. “For then we’d have to let women ... exercise in the company of men. And we know how ridiculous that would seem.” ... Convention and habit are women’s enemies here, and reason their ally.”
—Martha Nussbaum (b. 1947)
