Gifts from our alumni & friends, whether individuals or organizations, are critical to meeting the needs of our students.

Only a small portion of the funds needed to support the team come from the school district. Private giving together with team fundraising and the MinneApple Tournaments, make up the majority of the program’s current operating budget.

The Alumni Legacy Gift will help the program to continue its quest for excellence and goal to make Speech and Debate an opportunity for all eligible students regardless of economic circumstances. We have created these giving circles to honor your contributions:

* Founders Circle ($10-$100)
* Cornerstone Circle ($101-$500)
* Bronze Circle ($501-$1,000)
* Silver Circle ($1,001-$2,500)
* Gold Circle ($2,500+)

Contributors to the Alumni Legacy Program will be honored on our website and program literature unless donors choose to remain anonymous.

All contributions to the Apple Valley Speech and Debate Booster Club are tax-deductible. Please make all donations payable to AVHS Speech and Debate Booster Club
