2026 Inaugural Gala Fund-the-Need

We invite you to help us reach our goal of $15,000 — an investment that will directly impact students across Miami-Dade County.

The Miami-Dade Urban Debate League (MDUDL) serves students in predominantly Title I public schools, providing access to academic debate that builds critical thinking, confidence, and leadership. For many of our students, this is their first opportunity to be heard — and to discover the power of their voice.

This year, MDUDL students have competed on national stages, earned championships, and expanded access through our Debate en Español initiative — ensuring that language is not a barrier to opportunity.

With your support tonight, we can continue this momentum.

Your gift will directly fund:

• Student participation in local and national competitions

• Transportation for schools across Miami-Dade County

• Coach training and classroom resources

• Expansion of Debate en Español to reach more students

Every dollar brings us closer to our $15,000 goal — and closer to ensuring that every student, regardless of zip code, has access to these life-changing opportunities.

When you give, you are not just supporting a program.
You are empowering a student to find their voice — and use it.
