Communities In Schools Adult Spelling Bee

What is the Adult Spelling Bee?
A night of laughs, some really unusual on-stage antics, and truly funny attempts at spelling difficult words – that’s the “Bee”, a once a year event, hosted by Communities In Schools of Marietta/Cobb County (CISMCC). For Tickets: http://www.eventbee.com/v/cismcc30060/event?eid=100558063#/tickets

Corporate and team sponsorships, ticket sales, and donations raised fund Communities In Schools’ programs, including Reality U, the Georgia Literacy Connection events and training and development of CISMCC’s Site Coordinators.

How does the Bee Work?
Participants will spell in teams of 3. Each team will be sponsored, with the team name and costumes being determined by the sponsor. As each word is given the team will consult quietly amongst themselves and one person per team will approach the microphone and spell the word given by the emcee.

Participants have the opportunity to access a “Buzzline” when they are challenged by a word. Each team is limited to five “Buzzlines”. Audience members, a Google search, phone call or FaceTime call are the options for “Buzzlines.” If the word is spelled correctly the team moves forward, if the word is misspelled the individual who spelled the word is eliminated. Once an entire team has been eliminated they have one opportunity to come back into the game via text bidding by the audience, raising $100 to come back in with one member from that team.

How to be part of the Bee?
General admission tickets for the Bee are just $25. VIP tickets are $50 and include exclusive access to a pre-event and intermission party with heavy hors d’oeuvres, desserts and 2 drink tickets. Other sponsorship opportunities include, “Queen Bee”, “Honeycomb”, “Word”, “Letter” and “Beehive” Sponsoring a second chance, $100, contributing to the silent auction and taking part in the 50/50 raffle the day of the Bee.

Our mission is straightforward – to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. The vision of CIS of Marietta/Cobb County (CISMCC) is that through a powerful, collaborate community effort, families will be provided with the necessary resources, inspiration and motivation for all students to obtain a high school diploma.
