A corporate trivia event in September raised £5,400 for two Island charities.

Over 20 teams came together for an interactive sporting quiz at the annual ‘PwC Question of Sport’ hosted by the Isle of Man Sporting and Dining Club and sponsored by PwC Isle of Man.

The total of £4,400 raised on the night will be shared between the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI - chosen by the Dining Club) and the Crossroads Manx Workshop (chosen by PwC Isle of Man).

PwC has donated a further £1,000 to support the Crossroads Manx Workshop who will receive £3,200.

Paul Jones, Corporate Responsibility Leader at PwC Isle of Man, said: “Making a positive difference in our community is important to us and we’re delighted that two local charities providing valuable services will benefit from the 12th Question of Sport event. A popular night in the corporate calendar, we would like to thank John Wannenburgh and the Sporting and Dining Club for organising and hosting another fantastic evening.”

John Wannenburgh, Sporting and Dining Club owner, added: “It’s a privilege to host the annual Question of Sport event and bring together people from across the Island’s business network. I am delighted with the final amount fundraised for the RNLI and Crossroads Manx Workshop, and would like to thank all who attended for their generosity, as well as PwC Isle of Man for their continued support.”

Next year’s event will be held on September 19.
