Each year, more than 900 schools qualify to compete in the largest academic competition in the world – the NFL National Speech and Debate Tournament. This is quite an achievement, whether a team qualifies for the first time or the fiftieth.
Because of the difficult economic climate, many of our teams will face challenges fundraising for transportation, lodging, and other associated costs with this honor. For this reason, the NFL has created a secure portal, http://www.GiveYouthaVoice.org, to help our schools fundraise for the national tournament. Our goal is to help coaches raise money from the entire NFL community and draw from a national pool of support.
