Help Hunter #DebateLikeAGirl

Donation protected

Every kid deserves a glowing post about their debate achievements throughout their competitive career. Since Hunter doesn't have a coach, stepping in to honor a very deserving debater, under very deserving circumstances, is the absolute least I can do as co-league President. This is Hunter, she goes to North Bakersfield High School, and she is our Southern Valley Forensics League Lincoln Douglas Champion *and* our National Speech and Debate Association Sierra District Champion, too!  She doesn't have a coach and she hasn't ever even gone to debate camp, but Hunter is doing amazing things. . . and we need your help to get her there! 

Any coach can tell you that certain students just have a way about them: an indeterminate grace that just sort of leads to every topic discussion being fruitful, every practice being productive, and every interaction growing education for the student and the coach. That's what it's like every time you work with Hunter.


Hunter's success is a testament to her hard work, sharp mind, and great attitude. When her school cut their program, Hunter fought to keep forensics going, personally meeting with her administrators and advocating for speech and debate. Her administrators have been awesome: fully supporting her in any way they can all year. With their help and her hard work, Hunter is a perfect example of why every school should invest in their speech and debate kids. Hunter's smart, she's kind, she's funny, and she's an awesome debater, too.

Hunter may not have a team of her own, but she is part of valley forensics ,  our family, and that means more than absolutely anything. We are all rooting for her,  we are all proud of her,  and we all know that she will represent us well at the California State Championship Tournament in Arcadia in April and the National Championship in Birmgingham, AL in June! Hunter is a strong, intelligent, amazing young woman who shows us what it really means to #DebateLikeAGirl!

It's not cheap getting to State or Nationals. . . and that's where you come in. We need to cover all aspects of her travel and competition, including:

* Airfare for Nationals
* Transportation at Nationals
* Lodging at State & Nationals
* Entry & registration fees at State & Nationals
* Hunter's meals - 4 days at State & 8 days at Nationals

Any extra money raised will go toward Hunter's college expenses this fall. Thank you so much! <3
