A48 is Aid for Debate : Help local debaters reach the national Stage

DONATE

Throughout the season, students and parents must cover a host of fees out of pocket to compete at the national level. In particular, school-assigned fees do not cover payments for bringing coaches and judges (including hotels and flights), which are a requirement for any national tournament.

In the 2024-2025 season, A48 was able to cover 100% of students at Interlake's coaching and judging expenses after receiving $17k+ in donations. We deeply appreciate the support of our alumni, families, and friends, who have made our national competitive success possible.

To continue supporting the team, fill out the donation form!

If your company supports matching donations to 501(c)(3) non-profits, you may also request to match your donation via their intranet site! To do so, type in "Robosapiens," the current legal name of our non-profit.

We provide funding for national tournament coaches and judges so debaters in Washington can readily pursue their ambitions. By relieving the cost of competing nationally, A48 helps students focus on just learning and debating!
