First, the Liberty Bell Classic is now a Top Six qualifier tournament in Congress for the Tournament of Champions, in addition to being a Quarterfinal qualifier in Public Forum. The Tournament of Champions is held annually at the University of Kentucky, serving as a premier high school competition forum for Lincoln-Douglas, Policy, Public Forum and Congressional debate.

Sec

ond, ASAP (After School Activities Partnerships), a partner organization with PFYD, has just received a $100,000 grant from Impact100 to expand its chess and debate programs.
