The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Interpreter Education Program will host its second annual Newlywed Game scholarship fundraiser from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 31.

The fundraiser, presented in sign language and voice, will take place at the Arkansas School for the Deaf in Parnell Hall.

Proceeds of the event will go toward the Barbara Northup Interpreter Scholarship Fund. Northup was a counselor, leader, teacher, and interpreter who worked for the UA Little Rock Interpreter Education Program, Arkansas School for the Deaf, and Arkansas deaf community.

In memory of his wife, Ernest Northup will host the game show, asking revealing questions to see how well couples know each other. Three couples from the Arkansas deaf community will participate, including Margie and Tommy Walker, LaTonya and Fred Carson, and Roy and Elaine Boland.

Participants can bid on item sets collected by students from local businesses during a silent auction. Refreshments will be served.

Tickets are $10, and children under 10 get in free.
