Mark Burkhart the 2008 Moto X World Supermoto Champion, 2007 X-Games Supermoto Gold winner, and 2007 AMA Supermoto Champion will attend the Sixth Annual Sports Trivia Championship presented by Budweiser at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri as one of the celebrity guests on Saturday evening, February 7, 2009.
Billed as the "largest sports trivia event ever staged," this event, presented by Budweiser, will bring together sports junkies from across the region to determine who will take home bragging rights as the most knowledgeable sports fans in St. Louis.
Mark will be joined by Chris Rose from The Best Damn Sports Show and Laurence Maroney of the New England Patriots, who is this year's celebrity chair. In addition, dozens of other celebrities, broadcasters and sports personalities will also be participating.
As one of the celebrity guests, Mark will be responsible for reading select Sport's Trivia questions to the audience. He will also ride his Graves Yamaha Supermoto bike onto the stage at some point in the evening, providing a little more action for the guests.
"I am looking forward to participating in this special event that raises money for such a worthwhile cause. During these challenging financial times it is important that we all do what we can to help others that are less fortunate and in need of our assistance. I am also glad that I will have an opportunity to represent the X Games and action sports while participating in this event with athletes from other sports, commented Burkhart.
