Triumph Debate x Empower Expression
June Invitational
Saturday, June 4th 2021
Triumph Debate is collaborating with Empower Expression to host a practice scrimmage for the NSDA National Tournament, in LD, PF, and Congress. All proceeds will go to Empower Expression, a registered 501(c)3 non-profit. This tournament is a fundraiser for charity, as well as an educational experience for students seeking more practice before Nationals. We will be hosting the tournament virtually, utilizing NSDA Campus for competition.
