Ready, set, quiz: we proudly invite buddies to join us for our first ever fundraiser.
On Monday 7 September we’ll be taking over the second floor at Surry Hills’ Keg & Brew Hotel - hosting our very own trivia fundraiser, with all money raised going towards reducing the cost of our Christmas party.
To help us raise as much moolah as possible, we’re inviting our community to join us for our very own battle of wits. Expect fun, prizes, giveaways and good times!
On the night we’ll also be holding a raffle. So far we have secured some amazing prizes, totalling over $1,300 in value.
Why are we fundraising?
We’re currently working on finding a suitable and cost effective venue for our Christmas party. Booking a hotel that will host over 100 attendees during the busy festive period is an expensive business.
Therefore, to assist with the unavoidable expenses, we’re hosting our first ever fundraiser - and we’re calling on the Gig Buddies’ community to support us.
How do I sign up?
Tickets to our trivia night cost $12 and places are limited. To secure your spot (and to find out more information about the event), load up the link below.
It’s time to get quiz your teams together!

Likewise, we’ve also spent some time prepping a trio of new volunteers.
