Judge & Volunteer Challenge Donors
In May 2024, we issued a challenge to our National History Day judges and volunteers to help us raise $10,000 for our 50th Anniversary. A longtime friend of NHD offered to match $10,000 of donations from judges and volunteers. We surpassed our goal – raising $14,768 – totaling $24,768! In honor of this fundraising achievement, the 2024 National Contest paper category awards will be named in honor of NHD’s judges and volunteers.
Thank you to the NHD judges and volunteers who donated to this fundraising challenge:
