CLAREMORE — The 4th Annual Brainiac Brawl was a fundraiser to remember as volunteers and participants raised more than $33,000 for Claremore Public Schools Foundation (CPSF). 

Held at RSU’s Centennial Center, the quiz bowl included- appetizers, a cash bar and dozens of silent auction items. All proceeds benefitted CPSF.

Throughout the evening, members from each of the 40 brainiac teams had an opportunity to vote for their favorite table decorations. Winners for best table were the casino-themed Wilson, Lillie Highly Resourceful High Rollers. Wilson, Lillie and Associates Appraisal has swept the competition in this category for the past four years. Brainiac Brawl Champions and winners of the traveling trophy were the Taylor, Burrage Bar Bashers.

“So far, this has been our most successful Brainiac Brawl. I want to thank everyone who helped support the event and the Foundation,” said CPSF Executive Director Marla Lillie.”
