2024 National Qualifiers
2023 National Competition
Donations and Fundraising Overview
Our Team is new to both the Montana and National circuits, but is highly competitive, as we have found success at both the State and National levels. To keep up with competition and to stay competitive, fundraising is a necessity. As we have qualified NINE competitors for the 2024 National tournament, we are needing to raise over $10,000 to help our national competitors travel to Iowa and to also have operational funds for next year. Any amount will help us as we work to send the Raptors to Des Moines Iowa.
