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.
