Join the Bruno E. Jacob Society for Donors
Bruno E. Jacob Society members are part of a legacy of speech and debate dating back to our founding at Ripon College in 1925. In the many decades since, the National Speech & Debate Association has provided recognition and support for high school and middle school students participating in speech and debate activities. While our organization has evolved over the years, our mission is more relevant today than ever before.
As a Bruno E. Jacob Society member, you’ll receive special benefits like monthly newsletters, listing in the annual report, VIP seating, and exclusive invitations to events. These benefits are just a small token of our appreciation for your support. Of course, the real benefits come in knowing that you are helping young people across the country gain the essential life skills of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity.
Specific memorial funds also allow you to ensure a permanent legacy of support in the name of an individual. If you would like to learn more about the William Woods Tate, Jr., Fund for National Tournament participation, the Carmendale Fernandes Fund for United States Extemporaneous Speaking, the Harold Keller Fund for Congressional debate, the Lanny & B.J. Naegelin Fund for Dramatic Interpretation, setting up a fund to honor an individual’s legacy, or any other funds, please email nicole@speechanddebate.org.
Make a commitment for generations to come
The 1925 Society recognizes the extraordinary commitment of speech and debate coaches, alumni, and supporters who have chosen to remember the National Speech & Debate Association in their will or estate plans. Members of the 1925 Society play an important role in accomplishing the NSDA’s mission of providing speech and debate opportunities to students throughout the country. In the many decades since, the National Speech & Debate Association has provided recognition and support for a diverse community of high school and middle school students participating in speech and debate activities.
Your early support for the 1925 Society will show new coaches, recent alumni, and our other supporters that those who have been most committed to speech and debate in the past are the strongest champions for ensuring its future.
