How does it work?
You’ll be seated at a table of 8. Your table will choose 3-5 of you to compete.
What do I get if I win?
Bragging rights and a coveted Bee Trophy, suitable for a place of honor on your desk, mantel, or in the guest bathroom.
I don’t have a full table – is that okay?
Absolutely! We’ll seat you at a great table and you can select your team members.
I won’t be able to come but I’d like to help.
Thank you! You can make a contribution by clicking the “Register” button and selecting “Make a Donation”.
Spelling was never my best subject.
Join the club! But that doesn’t stop anyone from trying. That’s what makes this event so much fun. We even have a trophy for Most Creative Speller. The whole point is to have a good time while helping CYD students graduate prepared for life after high school.
What else do I need to know?
It’s fun, it’s lively! A delicious buffet and frosty cocktails. It’s a wonderful way to introduce friends and colleagues to CYD. And best of all, your contribution ensures that CYD students get the support they need to graduate and succeed in higher education, training, and employment.
