The BIAG Business Journal Quiz 2024

A Night of Trivia and Philanthropy for a Cause: Dublin Simon Community and the BJAI Corporate Challenge! 

The Business Journalists Association of Ireland (BJAI) is once again gearing up for its annual Corporate Challenge quiz, an event that not only tests corporate intellect but also serves a noble cause – raising funds for Dublin Simon Community in its fight against homelessness. Each corporate table is paired with a business journalist, adding an extra layer of challenge and fun to the quiz. The event promises an evening of camaraderie, competition, and philanthropy. 

For over two decades, the BJAI Corporate Challenge has been a beacon of hope, bringing together leading names from various sectors, including law, business, and public relations. Since its inception, the event has raised over €600,000, providing vital support to Dublin Simon Community’s mission to combat homelessness in Leinster. 

A Message from Dublin Simon Community: 

Catherine Kenny, CEO of Dublin Simon Community, emphasizes the critical role of events like the Corporate Challenge in supporting their cause. With homelessness on the rise and the cost-of-living crisis exacerbating the situation, the need for assistance is more pressing than ever. Dublin Simon Community is dedicated to helping individuals exit homelessness, access housing, and rebuild their lives through comprehensive services. The support from the business community and the efforts of business journalists in raising awareness and funds are invaluable in achieving these goals. 

Event Details and Support: 

This year, the quiz will take place at the historic GPO in Dublin on Wednesday, March 13th, starting at 7 pm and RTÉ News at One presenter, Bryan Dobson, will return once again as quizmaster for the evening. The event is hosted by An Post, while The Reputations Agency is providing essential event management and public relations support.  

To appreciate the join efforts, Meadhbh Langton, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Dublin Simon Community, expresses gratitude to all involved and highlights the significance of corporate fundraising in expanding awareness and aiding their clients. This year’s Corporate Challenge presents a fantastic opportunity for organizations to come together, socialize, and make a tangible difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness. Let’s make this 21st edition a resounding success, ensuring that Dublin Simon Community can continue its vital work of providing hope and support to those in need. Together, we can make a lasting impact and create positive change in our community.
