What is Battle of the Minds?
The Rotary Club of Waynesboro hosts the “Battle of the Minds” each fall to raise funds for local community organizations. The evening takes place at Green Grove Gardens and includes a silent auction, live auction, cocktail hour, fabulous meal, and the main attraction, the Battle of the Minds trivia game.
The game pits each table against the others in a Trivial Pursuit-style game with multiple choice questions. When a question appears on the screen, each table will have 10 seconds to choose their best answer and respond using an electronic remote. The leader board is updated throughout the game and the winner will leave with more than just pride. The winning team will receive an $800 cash prize.
Who Benefits?
