Shooting Star PR is inviting quiz buffs to put their general knowledge to the test for charity over a plate of fish and chips.

The Lincoln-based consultancy is organising a charity quiz night with a difference at award-winning restaurant Burton Road Chippy on Monday 3rd November 2014.

The annual event was first staged last year when the agency raised over £600 for the Ally Cadence Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Each year Shooting Star PR offers its expertise and services free to a different local charity or not-for-profit organisation which would not otherwise be able to afford ongoing PR; this year the agency chose The Ethan Maull ‘Up Yours to Cancer’ Foundation.

Sam Maull, Ethan’s mother, said: “We’re very grateful for Shooting Star PR’s support to help raise awareness of Ethan’s Foundation and the rare from of children’s bone cancer, osteosarcoma.

“We’re really looking forward to having lots of fun at the quiz night and hope to raise more money to help other children and families affected by serious illness.”

Jez Ashberry, Director of Shooting Star PR, said: “As an agency we feel strongly about giving back to the community. Charities make a real difference to people’s lives and often don’t have the budget to promote their services. That’s why we offer our expertise for free to a different charity every year.

“Our thanks go to Des and Lesley at the award-winning Burton Road Chippy for hosting the evening on their night off.”

The event is open to teams of four and tickets, priced at £15, include fish and chips. There will be a prize for the winning team and a raffle to help raise even more money on the night. All proceeds raised on the night will go to the charity.

If you are unable to put together a team of four you can still enter and be teamed up with other egg-heads on the night.

To enter a team or donate an item for the raffle, please contact shey@weareshootingstar.co.uk or call 01522 528540
