2011 Quiz For a Cause: Austin Trivia Night Wrap Up!

On Tuesday, October 11, 2011, we held our 3rd Annual Quiz For a Cause: Austin Trivia Night fundraiser. We raised $13,000 that night which will go directly back into our program to help us reach 600 local immigrants and refugees in 2012. Thank you to our wonderful MC, Juan Tornoe, our volunteers, and to everyone that participated!

ENGLISH @ WORK is an Austin, TX based non-profit whose mission is to provide essential and customized English language instruction in the workplace for businesses that have limited English language proficient employees. We do this with two goals in mind: improve the employees' (our students) opportunities for an improved quality of life and increase the employers' competitive advantage.

Since our founding, we have served over 750 local workers at 31 businesses in the service, healthcare, and construction industries.

Our students come from 30 countries all over the world and speak over 20 languages, but they all have one goal - to speak English well enough to do a good job and lift their families out of poverty.
