The Hollywood Critics Association is hosting a film and television Triviathon on Saturday, May 16, 2020 starting at <\/strong>4:30 p.m. PDT\/7:30 p.m. EDT <\/strong>to help raise funds for those who have been impacted by COVID-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe past two months have been challenging and scary times. This pandemic is unlike anything we have ever seen or experienced before, but during this time of uncertainty, millions of people are doing what they can to help others in need. This is why we as an organization have decided that we wanted to do something not only as a way to assist those in need but to show our appreciation to everyone who has put themselves on the front lines during this incredibly difficult time,\u201d notes HCA founder Scott Menzel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been so moved by all of the recent relief efforts and felt like our organization had to do something to give back to our community and those who have been impacted by the virus. We came up with the idea of hosting an online telethon, but wanted to make it fun, which is why we have decided to make it a trivia game,\u201d adds HCA Vice President Jazz Tangcay.<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Critics Association Triviathon will consist of seven rounds of film and television trivia that will feature questions created by members of the Hollywood Critics Association, as well as some special appearances by surprise guests. Each round will highlight a different organization that is doing its part to help out those who have been impacted by COVID-19. At the end of the event, the total amount of funds raised will be revealed and then divided up and donated evenly to the seven charity organizations that we have selected. We are raising money for The Actors Fund, ASPCA,\u00a0Dine11.org<\/a>, Feeding America, MPTF, UNICEF, and United Way Worldwide.<\/p>\n
