Hello! We are Dante Diggs and Mekhi Brodie, seniors at Bodine High School for International Affairs in Philadelphia, PA.  At the moment, we are the top two speakers in the Philadelphia Scholastic Debate League.
Also, this past Saturday, we qualified to compete in PCFL's Grand National Tournament in Public Forum style debate.
We have been working incredibly hard for the past four years competing in Philadelphia and beyond.  As the first Bodine Public Forum debate team to go to nationals, we want to be able to  represent our school, our team, and our city in highest regard.
What we are fundraising for is our trip to D.C. over Memorial Day weekend, where we will compete with esteemed debaters from all over the country. What you would be financing would be the following: hotel accommodations, transportation, food, and any other expenses that would incur from this 4-day, 3-night trip for ourselves and our coach, Lauren Geschel.
We would be eternally grateful if you could help us achieve this dream of competing on a national level, showing that Philadelphians can do anything to which they put their minds. So help us represent our fair city! Philly Philly!
