Help send Mark and Chandler to Nationals

Mark Agard and Chandler Nguyen come from Heritage High School in Vancouver, Washington, which is a Title 1 (lower income) school with a strong, but underfunded Speech and Debate team. Both Mark and Chandler have an unparalleled passion for debate, public speaking, and current events. As it is their senior year, they trained all season to qualify for Nationals in Dallas, Texas to show the entire nation that they are the best of the best. They want to prove that hard work will always matter more than where you come from and how much money is in your bank account. Both Mark and Chandler have ambitious goals for the future. Mark wants to change the world by becoming a foreign service officer working for the U.S. State Department, and Chandler wants to duel major in political science and astrophysics to help humanity learn more about the universe and our society. Both Mark and Chandler have shown a remarkable amount of work ethic, responsibility, and desire to meet the problems of tomorrow. The money donated will go towards funding the trip to Dallas Texas in June.


Going to Nationals in Speech and Debate is the pinnacle of the work that they done over the course of their high school speech and debate careers, and will launch them into a bright future.
