Literacy Changes Everything
The 22st annual ScrabbleBee is coming to The Brewing Projekt in Eau Claire on May 2, 2024, and we are looking for sponsors, players and volunteers!
​
Talk to your company about chipping in to help support literacy education in the Chippewa Valley. Everything helps, but there are additional benefits to sponsoring at the tile level and up- including free team registrations, brand recognition during the event, and inclusion in the ScrabbleBee marketing campaign leading up to May 2nd.
​
Registration is $35 for an individual, or $200 for a full team of 6 players.
​
Sign-in begins at 5:00pm, games begin at 6:00pm
​
We look forward to seeing you at the event, and appreciate your continued support!

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.
