We'd love your support! Planning an event is never easy. Let alone for a few kids doing it for the first time! Due to the venue we're working with not allowing us to charge an entry fee, we're fundraising to cover some of the costs involved with the event such as the venue rental, the winning prize, participation ribbons, water and more.

Incase you don't know - a new, exciting youth-centered spelling bee is buzzing its way to South Jersey. Buzzword Battle: A Kids Spelling Bee, a lively and inclusive competition for children ages 10–13, will take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Riverwinds in West Deptford, NJ.

I'm Stacey Wilson, aka Flygirrl, is a 30+ year Event Producer based in Philadelphia. When my niece Mya and nephew Miles wanted to be in a spelling bee, she said - put one on yourself! So, I'm helping them produce their first event. Designed as a “For Kids, By Kids” experience, Buzzword Battle celebrates literacy, confidence, and public speaking in a welcoming, high-energy environment. Participants will compete for a $250 grand prize, while families and community members cheer them on in a supportive atmosphere that values learning over pressure.

Buzzword Battle is about more than spelling, it’s about helping kids feel confident using their voices, celebrating intelligence, and creating positive, memorable experiences around education.

The event is open to children across the region and will feature age-appropriate word divisions, engaging hosts, and community sponsorship support. All participants will be recognized for their effort and courage.

We hope that you can support with a financial donation, being int he audience or even just sharing it on our social media. Let's lift the kids up!
