On Saturday, February 20, as part of the closing program for the American Booksellers Association’s 2021 Winter Institute [6], more than 200 trivia enthusiasts from the book industry participated in a virtual trivia night in support of the Book Industry Charitable Foundation [7] (Binc), sponsored by ABA.

A total of $2,629 was raised for Binc.

“Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket or donated and joined in the fun of a good trivia game,” said Binc Executive Director Pam French. “Congratulations to the ‘Masked and Dangerous’ team on their victory — it was a tight race against some very skilled trivia competitors! We had a great time and especially appreciated the impromptu dance party that broke out, too.”

Booksellers who are in need of emergency financial assistance are encouraged to take a look at the assistance page on the Binc website [8] and to contact Binc directly at [email protected] [9] or (866) 733-9064.
