Show more event details.

Description:

Join us for a St. Louis-style Trivia Night to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Angie; our wife, mother, colleague and friend who is currently undergoing treatment for Chronic Lymphocitic Leukemia.

Put together your trivia team (up to 8 people per team), and get ready for an evening cranium-crunching and cancer-fightin' fun. We're doing this St. Louis-style, so that means teams should plan to bring food to share amongst their table and be prepared to take home some cash. First-place takes a cash prize home! (Winnings are determined based on number of competitors, so tell your friends!) Beer is on us!

We'll also have a 50/50 raffle. Winner of that takes home half of the pot! Can't beat that.

There are a few other exciting tidbits currently in the works, so get your tickets now!

Thanks so far to our event sponsors (So far):

Some people have asked what exactly CLL is (the kind of cancer my mom has). Since we're raising $ to fight this thing, I thought I'd share with y'all what exactly we're up against...

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia:

-CLL results from an acquired injury to the DNA of ONE single cell, a lymphocyte in the bone marrow. The change in the cell’s DNA gives the CLL cell a growth and survival advantage.

-The result is an uncontrolled growth of CLL cells in the marrow, leading to an increased concentration in the blood.

-The CLL cells that accumulate in the blood do not impede normal red blood cell production to the extent that is the case with ACUTE lymphocytic leukemia (this accounts for the less severe early course of the disease).

-Each year, nearly 9730 Americans are diagnosed with CLL.

-Early on, chronic leukemia's may have little effect on a person, and it is often found during a routine check-up.

-Currently there is no cure for CLL.
