In February, hundreds of students will travel to Philadelphia to compete a national circuit debate tournament hosted at UPenn.

With your help, 50 of our debaters will be among them this year.

Last year, we brought 14 of our students to compete at UPenn. They were the ONLY debaters from low-income NYC public schools debating at this national circuit tournament. They rocked it: three of them advanced to semi-finals, and one to finals.

This year, we're aiming to bring 50 kids, and we need your help to make it happen. Your support helps us cover the basics (hotel, bus, meals and registration fees) as well as making sure all of our kids have what they need to succeed there (laptops, suits, dress shoes.

Please help us send our kids head back to Philly this year to represent NYC with pride.
