Spelling Bee for Grown-ups

Friday, April 4th, 6:30 PM – 10:00 PM EDT

In Person

Join us Friday, April 4 for the Literacy Council of St. Petersburg's Spelling Bee for Grown-ups Fundraiser! (Note: While our participants will all be grown-ups, our Bee will not include profane words. But, more importantly, there will be plenty of adult beverages!) The Spelling Bee for Grown-ups will feature 10 pre-registered teams of 2 to 4 adults attempting to spell a wide selection of words with varying degrees of difficulty. A judge is on hand to … well … judge the teams. Team Registration is $120 (per team, not per person!) - When you click on "Registration & Tickets," select "Team Registration," enter the information for your team captain, enter your team name, and then pay the $120 registration fee for the whole team - and boom! You're registered! Not sure of your spelling skills? Buy a general admission ticket for just $15 and watch the fun. Audience members are invited to drink and snack while cheering on the spellers and maybe even helping out your favorite team by purchasing a "skip a word" and "spell again" option. Sound like fun? It's un-bee-lievably entertaining and all for a good cause! And we're looking for sponsors - Honey Bee Sponsors, Killer Bee Sponsors, and one Queen Bee Bar Sponsor. Click on the "Register & Tickets" button to learn more.
