Pursuit tournament
raises $800
A Trivial Pursuit tournament
benefiting Big BrothersBig Sisters of
Abilene was conducted Saturday and
Sunday at the Mall of Abilene.
The tournament was organized by
the Abilene Jaycces to help Big
BrothersBig Sisters raise money need-
ed for various children's activities.
Debbie Vaughan project chairman
for the Abilene Jaycces iaid the tour-
nament was "a neat way for the
Jaycces to become involved" and "a
fun way to raise money."
Approximately $800 was raised.
The entry fee was $25 per team with
32 teams competing in the
tournament.
The money raised by the tourna-
ment will be used by Big BrothersBig
Sisters to fund matches between adults
and children. Glenn Gray of Big
BrothersBig Sisters said the purpose
of the organization is to take children
and match each one with an adult
"role model" who can be a "friend to
the child." Gray said most of the
children have a low self-esteem and the
adults help build the children's
confidence.
Many of the children at Big
BrothersBig Sisters arc from single-
parent families said Gray. Most of the
children are brought to Big
BrothersBig Sisters by parents who
see an advertisement on T.V.
Other children are referred to Big
BrothersBig Sisters by schools
juvenile probation and the YMCA.
Gray said the cost of matching one
adult volunteer to one child for a year
is about $600. The exact dolla
amount for each match Is determined
by dividing the budget by the number
of matchcs.Gray said $60 may seem
expensive but It helps "prevent
juvenile delinquency" by keeping the
cluldren off the streets.
A team from the Abiltnt RtporurX
Neat won the tournament. Jerry Reed
education writer; Guy Teague com-
puter systems operator: Chuck Yar-
borough morning edition editor; and
Jack Rux night city editor beat three
other teams in the finals in which
every edition of Trivial Pursuit was
used.
The team finished as a runner-up inf
a tournament last year.
