The fight against dementia receives a playful boost with Ipoh’s first-ever Trivia Night! Organized by the Dementia Society Perak, Dementia Café of Ipoh, and Santunan Kasih Perak, this event promises an evening of friendly competition, community bonding, and valuable dementia awareness all rolled into one.
Mark your calendars! The inaugural Trivia Night takes place on July 27th, 2024, at 7:00 PM at the Dewan Komuniti Taman Cempaka (Persiaran Cempaka Sari 20, Taman Cempaka, Ipoh). Open to the general public, this event welcomes everyone to participate in a multicultural and multilingual trivia challenge.
More Than Just a Quiz Night
While the trivia competition takes center stage, the night fosters a spirit of Muhibbah (Malaysian term for goodwill and unity). Participants will form teams of 10 and compete for attractive prizes. But the real focus is on creating a fun and engaging experience for all attendees.
Building Bridges and Raising Awareness
The Trivia Night serves a dual purpose: providing an entertaining evening for families, friends, and the community while raising awareness about dementia. This collaborative effort between local organizations aims to break down social stigmas and create a more inclusive environment for those affected by dementia.
Early Sponsors and How to Get Involved
The event has already garnered the support of Mr. Simon Lam (a nurse practitioner from Australia), Vinda Marketing Sdn. Bhd. (donating Tena products), the Maharaj restaurant Ipoh, and Ngan Yin. Sponsorship opportunities remain open for those who wish to contribute to this meaningful cause.
