Help Wilton's Debaters Reach Nationals

Hello! My name is Olivia Durden, and I am a rising junior coaching Wilton's middle school debate team. We have a select few debaters who have consistently placed at the top of the state in our tournaments, and we want to push them even further by attending nationals! Based on their performance in our state tournaments, I know they can not only do great in nationals, but also learn so much with the experience of it.

Recently, no school in Connecticut has attended nationals, mainly because of it being too much work; however, my debaters and I are determined to go! The only problem is the funding. With my debaters being only middle schoolers and I only a high schooler, we need your help to get us to nationals.

Majority of the funds would go towards roundtrip flights to Iowa (around $2,500), and hotel bookings (around $1,000). The remaining funds would go towards entry fees, judging fees, and transportation in Iowa. Any and all donations help, and thank you so much for helping these middles schoolers reach their goal!
