Spofford – Trivia Night

Spofford recently hosted its first annual Trivia Night. More than 150 guests on 18 teams duked it out to be trivia champs for children with categories in pop culture, movies, one hit wonders, and more. The evening also featured an ’80s theme, silent auction, raffle, games, and delicious fare. Proceeds support Spofford’s mission to provide residential and community-based services for young children with emotional and behavioral disturbances attributed to abuse, neglect and childhood mental illness.
