SkillsUSA Fundraiser!!

We have students that took gold in Web Design, IoT and Smart Home, Electrical Construction Wiring, Pin Design, and T-Shirt Design. You can help support our students and possibly win some cash at the same time!

We are having a bracket challenge for the NCAA March Madness Tournament. You can purchase a men's, women's, or both brackets for $10 a piece. Simply fill out the form located here https://nwktc.wufoo.com/forms/pi0o6e71xx4t8r/

Once we verify your payment, we will send you a join code and link for the bracket group hosted on fantasy.espn.com. It may take up to 1 day to get the join code. The winner for each tournament will get 1/2 of the money collected for that tournament. The rest of the money will go toward travel expenses for our SkillsUSA team going to Atlanta Georgia.

In the event of a tie for first, the 50% winnings will be split amongst the tied brackets.

Good Luck and thank you for supporting our SkillsUSA students!
