<div><em>Want to join me in making a difference?</em> I'm raising money to benefit the Minnesota Academy of Science / <a href="https://www.mnmas.org/science-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">State Science Bowl</a>, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to Science Bowl -- an activity that means so much to so many middle and high school students in Minnesota!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Science Bowl is a team activity that inspires deep learning and problem-solving in students who enjoy science and math. After months of fun, after-school prep sessions, teams from across the state come together for fast-paced, quiz bowl competitions that truly amaze. Winning teams represent Minnesota in the National Science Bowl (NSB). A Minnesota team from Wayzata won the NSB in 2019 and just this past year a <em>brand new team</em> started by students in Minnetonka placed 4th in the nation!

</div>
<div><strong>Despite having a very successful and well-loved Science Bowl program in Minnesota, we face losing this activity in the future due to declining corporate sponsorships. Just $20,000 helps keep this program going while we work to secure new sponsors.</strong>
