Our Crowdfunding Groups
WE MADE OUR GOAL! I don't think you'll ever hear me say this again: I'm speechless. In just 24 hours, our generous alumni and friends and have provided enough funds to send our team to NFA in California! From plane tickets and lodging to entry fees and meals, our students will not have to worry about out-of-pocket expenses and can focus on competing in NFA. - Karen Morris, UWEC Forensics Director
If you competed for the UW-Eau Claire Forensics team in the last 45 years, you surely remember attending the NFA National Championship tournament in April. The long bus ride, breaking into an out round, competing with a close group of teammates and friends for the last time, the culmination of the years of hard work. Not much has changed for today's Blugolds, except for one important thing: NFA is being hosted in sunny California instead of it's typical Midwestern location this year!
Of course, we are excited to travel to Santa Ana, CA to compete (who wouldn't be?) Unfortunately, however, on top of our usual hotel, food, and entry expenses, we also have to pay for airfare and additional travel expenses for our largest team to date.
That's where you come in. We need the help of our Forensics family to send our team to NFA, one of the most important competitions of the season.
Whether you can give $10, $50 or $500, your gift will make a difference. See the side menu of this page to learn more about the impact that your donation will make.
Gifts of any amount will help us with our expenses for NFA. A donation of $17.50 could fund a full day of meals for a student (and we all know how important it is to be well-fed before competing!)
Five days of competition require five suits! Getting those suits and all of the accessories requires a checked bag. A gift of $25 could fund a checked back one-way for a student.
We can't compete without paying an entry fee! Your gift of $54 could pay for 1 student's entry fee for NFA.
Your donation of $105 could feed one student for the duration of the tournament!
The students need somewhere quiet to sleep and relax before their competitions, and your gift of $125 could cover 1 night in a hotel room for 4 students!
You may remember taking a bus to NFA when you were a student. Well, this year, we have to fly. Your gift of $350 funds a round trip plane ticket for 1 student!
We have one of our largest teams, and we need to make sure everyone has safe transportation to and from the competition every day. Your gift of $500 will help us rent a mini van to transport 7 students.
A hotel room for the entire length of our trip is $750, help fund hotel expenses for 4 students.
