"My favorite memory was the night before the state tournament. My friends and I spent hours in a hotel stairwell testing our elastic cord for Bungee Drop. In between trials, I reviewed my info sheets... There wasn't a dull moment. Hours of jokes, banter, excitement, and nerves." — Josie, NCSO Student.

The April 18th State Tournament was a weekend to remember! 🏆 While the medals have been awarded, our mission to support these incredible students continues.

We are still buzzing from the energy at State, and we’re making one final push to hit our fundraising finish line.

🏁Thanks to your support, we are just shy of our $25,000 goal! Every dollar helps create more life-changing moments like Josie's. Your gift will unlock:

🔹 A new regional tournament in Rocky Mount
🔹 25 scholarships for student teams in Fall 2026
🔹 25 training scholarships for our dedicated coaches

Help us keep the post-tournament momentum going and close the gap!
