Leah Ghebrelul, Abigail Nguyen, Sarah Abi Saab, and Erica Carranza (Team LASER) pose for a picture after becoming finalists in the City Championships.
This week, Team LASER has been actively fundraising to compete at the 2025 J.W. Patterson Tournament of Champions, held April 25-28 at the University of Kentucky.
As one of the most prestigious high school debate events, the TOC brings together top competitors from across the country. With no school or district funding, the team must cover flights, hotels, food, and entry fees on their own.
To meet expenses, they have launched a GoFundMe and sold after-school concessions throughout the week.
