warm-up trivia giveaways
As part of our Warm-Up Trivia Contest (which occurs while our three finalists are preparing for their last sales call), we give away door prizes donated from sponsors and participating schools. Please bring a couple items from your company that would be appropriate, e.g., water bottles, mugs, umbrellas, whatever you think the students might enjoy taking home with them. Bring them to the opening reception and we'll handle it from there.
