The Great Richmond Trivia Bee is a team-based competition for people who love words, pop culture, history, literature – and showing off their random knowledge, all while having a blast! It’s also the signature annual fundraiser for The READ Center.
Support of the Great Richmond Trivia Bee helps adults in the Richmond community develop the skills they need to improve their lives as employees, family members, and citizens. In the Richmond area, one in six adults have low literacy skills. Low literacy skills affect an individual’s health, education, employment, housing, and economic outcomes. Literacy skills are critical to navigating employment changes, keeping up with health and wellness needs, and adapting to a digital society.

Our Stories
“[The READ Center] has helped me pronounce words and to seek out other words that I might not have tried to use. I thank the tutors for their patience and willingness to help with a glad heart. It means a lot to me, being a student.”

“I volunteer because reading has been a blessing in my life, and I enjoy sharing my passion with others who hope to feel the same comfort and joy with books. Volunteers feel that we receive more than we give.”
