The Australian Chamber of Commerce (AustCham) organised a trivia night yesterday at the Roadhouse pub, as part of its fundraising campaign for Movember and the Association of Rehabilitation of Drug Abusers of Macau (ARTM).
Movember seeks to raise awareness of men’s physical and mental health, while ARTM provides assistance to substance abusers and has a dedicated men’s health section.
Some 90 attendees were organised into teams of four people each, and went through six rounds of thought-provoking trivia questions on topics ranging from music to sport. A team of friends calling themselves the Buffaloes were declared the overall winners after acing three rounds.
Prizes were donated by sponsors of the event, which included the Flying Winemaker, the Roadhouse Macau, Grand Hyatt Macau, Galaxy Entertainment Group, Sands China, Watson’s Wine and Macao News.

“AustCham Macau’s Movember trivia night was a wonderful success and very well attended for its second year,” says Eddie McDougall, one of the chamber’s board of directors, calling it “another memorable night for a good cause.”
AustCham’s Movember campaign for this year was inaugurated with an expert talk about men’s physical and psychological health.
Originating in Australia during the early 2000s, the Movember movement has grown exponentially over the years. It seeks to raise money for men’s health by having participants take part in various fundraising activities such as growing out their moustaches.
AustCham will announce the total amount of money raised for the entire Movember campaign at the end of the month.
