What’s Next? Waiting List?

Team registration is now closed, but we are starting a Wait List. To get on the Wait List, email  Josh Healey (jhealey@youthspeaks.org) and then register your team as Entourage, paying the appropriate fees. If a team drops out of the slam and your squad is added, you will be reimbursed so that you pay at the team level.

This is going to be the biggest and bravest BNV yet.

Get ready.
