What is ScrabbleBee

Literacy Chippewa Valley hosted our 21st Annual ScrabbleBee on September 22nd, 2022 at the Lismore Hotel in Eau Claire. 

Registration began at 5:15pm with the games beginning at 6:00pm.

What is ScrabbleBee?

ScrabbleBee is our annual fundraising event where our guests play Scrabble. There are two ways our participants can play:

  • Hare version

  • Tortoise version

 

Here’s how it works: “Hare” teams work with each other – and against the clock – to build as many high-scoring words on the Scrabble® board as possible. Three games are played throughout the evening, and the team with the highest total score for all three games is the winner. In addition to the fast-paced play, there is also a “Tortoise” division that plays traditional Scrabble®. Other activities include a silent auction, raffles, prizes, and food. 

Teams are encouraged to raise donations for their team before the event.  Prizes will be awarded for individuals and teams who raise the most funds in their division! 
  • Individual  – Highest Fundraising

  • Team – Highest Fundraising

  • Team – Most Points Scored

 

*“BEE” A SPONSOR*

Proceeds from individual and team donations and corporate sponsorships help us continue to provide literacy services for adults in Chippewa, Dunn, and Eau Claire counties.

Donate a Basket/Item for Raffle

The basket raffle is an exciting part of Scrabble Bee – a fun basket creates a “Buzz” as participants “Scrabble” for their favorites. The baskets donated last year were a great success!  Proceeds from the raffle help us deliver literacy services to adults in the Chippewa Valley.

  • Basket Suggestions: Choose a theme around a book (scrapbooking, fishing, a children’s book, traveling, quilting, golfing, gardening, cooking, etc.).  A copy of the book should be included among the items in the basket. 

  • Baskets should be valued at approximately $125.

  • Complete this form as soon as possible! The earlier we have information about your donation, the more we are able to promote baskets to the team participants. 

  • Deliver your basket to our office.  Or call us @ 715-834-0222 if we need to pick up your donation!
