On Friday, November 7th 2008, members of Philadelphia's business community and students and administrators from the Fox School of Business, pit their intellectual wits against each other for the title of Corporate Quizzo champion of 2008. With Johnny Goodtimes, Philadelphia's premier quiz master as host, and The Racquet Club of Philadelphia as our venue, an exceptional evening was enjoyed by all.

All proceeds from the event were donated to the Scholarship fund allocated to a deserving Philadelphia High School Student who will be studying business as a Temple Undergraduate in 2009. Congratulations to Luke Urban who won by a very narrow margin, helped by the fact that race favorite Lauren Dougher couldn't compete due to injury.
