    Aflac NI is hosting a special, fun-packed and entertaining fundraising event to raise vital funds for the Children's Cancer Unit Charity.

    Taking place on Thursday 26 September from 7pm until 10pm at The Black Box in Belfast, The Tech Crowd Quiz Night will include an exciting general knowledge quiz, where local companies - big and small - are encouraged to compete for the title of the 'Smartest Tech Company' in Northern Ireland. 

    The Tech Crowd Quiz Night aims to raise much-needed funds for the Children’s Cancer Unit Charity (CCUC), the only facility in Northern Ireland that provides essential care for children diagnosed with cancer.

    All local tech companies are warmly encouraged to take part in the event, with a table costing £150 and the option to book more than one.

    Teams of up to five will compete in an interactive speed quiz featuring game show style buzz-in rounds and bonus points for the fastest answers. Guests will enjoy pizza and a drink on arrival, along with networking opportunities and chance to participate in the charity raffle for a chance to win some fantastic prizes. 

    Proud hosts of the event, Aflac Northern Ireland, will donate all funds raised on the evening to the local Children’s Cancer Unit Charity.

    The event comes as tragically, between 60 to 70 children in Northern Ireland are diagnosed with cancer each year. Every child will visit the Children’s Cancer Unit during their treatment journey, as it is the only facility in Northern Ireland providing specialist cancer care for children.

    Aflac NI said: "Your support will directly impact the lives of these children and their families, ensuring they receive the best possible care and support during their toughest times.

    "At Aflac Northern Ireland giving back to the community around us isn’t just nice to have, it’s a core part of who we are. This year we have a goal to raise at least £10,000 to support CCUC - an amazing local charity, that does phenomenal work. We’re proud to partner with the CCUC and hope you will help us get to our target amount in 2024."

    If you'd like to donate a price for the charity raffle on the evening of the quiz, email QuizNight@Aflac.com with details about your prize by 20 August.
