Charitable Cause
Each year, the Pattonville Speech & Debate executive board selects a charity to support through a raffle and penny wars during our tournament, Prior charities have included Shriners Hospitals for Children and Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation. In the past several years, we have raised hundreds of dollars for charity, thanks to the generosity of the teams that attend our tournament.
This year, we are using our charitable funds to start a new student committee of area speech & debate competitors. We hope to foster conversations about stress, mental health and self care, as well as other issues of concern to students in the speech & debate community, such as inclusiveness and diversity.
