Schools from all over Nassau County participate in the year round Trivia Challenge event and raise significant funds for the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County, Inc. (ucpn). Now in its 30th year, the Trivia Challenge event brings students with great minds and good hearts together to help raise funds to benefit the programs and services ucpn provides for more than 1,800 children and adults challenged by disabilities.
