Registration is open for HAND Inc.’s first Trivia Night fundraiser, scheduled for 7 to 10 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 26 at the Noblesville Event Center, 2350 Conner St. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Teams of four or eight are invited to compete in five rounds of general-knowledge trivia hosted by Indy’s Live Trivia. Individuals who want to play will be placed on a team. The top-scoring team will win a prize.

Tickets are $200 for a team of eight, $100 for a team of four, or $30 for an individual. Registration includes appetizers, water and soda, and participants will be able to buy tickets for beer and wine.

HAND also will be conducting a raffle at the event (Indiana Gaming License #146069). Raffle prizes include an Indianapolis Colts autographed football, a swag bag from the Indiana Pacers and gift cards from Primanti Bros., Houlihan’s and Sam’s Club.

Trivia Night is a fundraiser for HAND, a Noblesville-based nonprofit that works to address the housing needs of low- and moderate-income individuals and families. HAND has invested more than $17 million in Hamilton County housing since 2003.

HAND owns six apartment communities that offer a total of 96 affordable units, and 10 additional units under construction in Carmel are expected to be available this year.

Research suggests Hamilton County needs almost 11,000 more affordable housing units to meet existing needs.
