A record crowd of 200 supporters filled the New North London Synagogue on Sunday 11th May for the annual Israel Guide Dog Centre UK Supper Quiz – the largest turnout in the event’s history.
Now a staple in the charity’s calendar, the Supper Quiz has grown in popularity among supporters of the Israel Guide Dog Centre, offering an evening that blends spirited competition with good food, a great raffle and more importantly, the opportunity to learn more about the work the Centre does. Guests enjoyed a challenging quiz night hosted by Quiz Quiz Quiz, featuring diverse and engaging rounds, including a special bonus section dedicated to the life-changing work of the Centre.
Funds raised on the night will help provide expertly trained service dogs for Israelis living with vision impairment, PTSD, and children on the autism spectrum.
The evening culminated in a nail-biting finish, with team “Sal’s Gals” emerging as the winners, narrowly beating out two former champion teams. But it was the heartfelt speech delivered by Michael Marlowe, father of the late Jake Marlowe z”l, that left the most lasting impression. Michael shared how his family has found solace in fundraising to name three puppies – two in Jake’s memory and one in honour of their local Borehamwood community, who continue to gather weekly in solidarity for the return of the hostages.
The Israel Guide Dog Centre UK extends its deepest thanks to all who attended, donated, and contributed to the event’s success.
