[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]5San Jose, CA - Congratulations to Del Mar's Varun Bhave for winning the 2014 Voices Invitational. In finals, Varun defeated Harvard-Westlake's Nick Steele on a 2-1 decision (Torson, DeLateur, Newkirk*). Congratulations to both debaters! The Voices Invitational is a quarterfinals bid qualifying tournament to the Tournament of Champions. About the Voices Foundation:Since 2005 the Voices Foundation has raised funds for the financially disadvantaged members of the LD debate community, primarily through its Round Robins and other efforts by the community. That money will go to help a record number of aid applicants attend summer debate institutes and tournaments during the year. We hope that you can join us for this tremendous event for the entire community. The Voices Foundation was established by a student-coach in an effort to make high school debate accessible to all students, regardless of financial circumstance. The Foundation strives to address shortfalls of resources and support that impede participation by financially disadvantaged individuals and teams through educational programs, outreach efforts to high schools and middle schools trying to start teams, and scholarships for summer camp, tournaments, and coaching. Find out more about the Voices Foundation here: http://voicesfoundation.org/index.html or https://www.facebook.com/voicesfoundation.org?ref=br_tfTo make a donation to the Voices Foundation: http://voicesfoundation.org/donate.html Pairings and results can be found on Tabroom: https://www.tabroom.com/index/tourn/index.mhtml?tourn_id=2835 Congratulations to Harker's Pranav Reddy for winning top speaker.Speaker Awards
