Elk River Speech team is headed to Nationals! This year, a group of students from our team qualified for the National Speech and Debate Tournament in Richmond, Virginia. This is something these students have been working toward for years, and they are excited to share their stories and move mountains all the way to the National Tournament!

However, Nationals isn't free, and our team must fund their entire trip on their own. Conservatively, our students would be required to pay about $1,500 per student for this opportunity—something that is just out of reach for the kids on this team. Seven nights in a hotel, expensive flights, registration fees, judging fees, car rental, and food at the tournament add up quickly.

We firmly believe that the opportunity to share your voice shouldn't be limited to those who can pay for it. All students deserve this chance, so we are asking for your help in getting our students to this tournament!

All money raised will go to helping our students pay for this trip. Every little bit helps, and we would be eternally grateful for your support in helping these amazing speakers move mountains all the way to Nationals this year!
