Hi, my name is Chaitali (Kittu) and I am doing a fundraising for the Menlo Park Elementary school OM team who have made it to the World Championships at Michigan State University. Let's support our team - Aayush, Arya, Narain, Nathan, Sara and Sritama! They came first at the Regionals and second at the States for Problem 1, Pirates and the Treasure, Division 1.

The teams are now been invited to compete at the 45th global level Final Competition alongside 800 other teams from the US and 25 other countries at Michigan State University - East Lansing, from May 24-27, 2023!

Now, here is where we NEED your help !!

Any Donations made will go fund the team directly towards their travel, stay & Registration all the way to Lansing, Michigan State University Campus to represent New Jersey on the World Finals Stage!!

Your Deed is Our Need. We appreciate your support!

Thank You from the Menlo Park Team
