Battle of the Brains – Round 3

Malta University Sports & Leisure have once again teamed up with the University of Malta Research, Innovation and Development Trust to help raise funds for research in ALS.

Since its setting up in 2011, the RIDT has managed to raise close to €2m from the Maltese community towards research in various areas of study at the University of Malta. There is currently no cure for ALS and the disease is terminal; the aim is to raise funds to contribute towards this research so as to help RIDT get closer to combatting the illness.

Friday, 14 July will mark the third edition of Battle of the Brains, a series of quiz nights set up last May, with a portion of the funds being donated to support this cause. Furthermore, a fund-raising raffle will also be held on the night, with all proceeds going to support research in ALS.

As always the team is looking to make things even bigger and better with more prizes and wackier rounds. Furthermore, for the first time ever, the event is being held at Saracino’s restaurant in Attard where it is doubling up as a pizza night.

Readers are being invited to team up with friends, family or colleagues to find out who really is the smartest. Teams should be made up of three to six people. Doors open at 7pm with the event beginning shortly after.

For those who would like to take part, the closing date is Monday, 10 July at noon.

Tickets cost €12 per person and may be bought online: https://www.universitysportsandleisure. com/ product/ battlebrains-3rd-edition/

Included in the price is one free drink (choice of a soft drink, a beer or a glass of wine) as well as free flowing water, a plate of cheesy garlic bread and two pizzas per team. Teams of five/six people are entitled to an additional pizza should they wish. More information is available on the event Facebook page.
