Hi, I’m Christopher, and I’m a high school student deeply involved in speech and debate. I compete at a high level, traveling to events like Harvard University, as well as competitions in Nebraska and Iowa. While my parents work hard and I have a part-time job, the expenses for these competitions can be overwhelming. Speech and debate is incredibly important to me, not only because I love the activity, but because it helps me prepare for college. Recently, the school board has cut funding for speech and debate, which has made it even harder to cover the costs. Any contribution, no matter how small, would make a huge difference and be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your support!
