Help Sponsor My Trip to Nationals in D.C.

Help Send Me to National History Day Nationals in Washington, D.C.!

History isn’t just about the past—it’s about the stories that shape who we are today. For months, I have poured my heart into uncovering and bringing one of those stories to life through my National History Day individual performance. After competing through three intense rounds, I am thrilled to share that I’ve earned a spot at Nationals in Washington, D.C.!

This journey has been one of passion, dedication, and creativity. National History Day is not just a competition—it’s an opportunity for students to explore history in an innovative way, blending research with performance to share narratives that deserve to be heard. My project has challenged me to think critically, push my storytelling abilities, and showcase a piece of history in a way that connects with audiences on a deeper level.

But now, I need your help to make it to Washington, D.C. Traveling to nationals comes with expenses—flights, lodging, registration fees—all essential to competing at the highest level. Your support will not only help cover these costs but also enable me to share my hard work with historians, educators, and students from across the country.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. Whether it’s $5, $50, or simply sharing this fundraiser with others, you are helping me bring history to life on a national stage. Anything helps pay for airfare, shipping props, or even our hotel.

This opportunity means the world to me, and with your generosity, I can make it a reality. Thank you for believing in the power of storytelling, the importance of history, and in supporting young scholars like me.

Let’s make history together!
