Fundraising Total: $6,867
Our Goal: $10,000
On Saturday, October 23rd at 826 Boston our 14 Swindling Scrabble teams competed for the Cheaters Cup in hours of frighteningly close scrabble matches and capped off the day by raising nearly $7,000 in support of 826 Boston’s free youth writing programs. Help our teams hit $10,000!
Dressed in only fur and leather, the Stammering Wunderkinds (left) came out on top and won the Cheaters Cup in a hairy 50 minute game against lead fundraiser and the unflappable Scrabblers Erin & Ace of ZRBTT. How did they do it? Some say that Daniel held practices at 5 AM, or that Jeannie and Alijah ate alphabet soup for weeks, but most would agree that they were simply very, very good at cheating.
Check out photos from the event here.
