Our Impact

Expanding access to debate for all students

Making Debate Accessible

We believe that debate should be accessible to every student, regardless of their financial circumstances. That's why we're committed to supporting programs that make debate possible for students who might otherwise be unable to participate.

20% of all KRDA proceeds are donated to Operation Bluebonnet, a program dedicated to supporting debate access for students in need.

Operation Bluebonnet & Outreach Debate

Operation Bluebonnet is a collaboration with Outreach Debate, the largest and fastest growing debate nonprofit in the country. Together, we are committed to making public speaking communities and learning resources globally accessible while fostering productive public discourse that transcends divides.

Through this partnership, Operation Bluebonnet provides grants, scholarships, and financial assistance to help students afford tournament fees, travel costs, and coaching. We work to ensure that every student who wants to participate in debate has the opportunity to do so, regardless of financial circumstances.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Affordable Coaching

We keep our coaching rates accessible so that financial circumstances never prevent a student from getting elite-level instruction.

Community Support

We partner with schools and debate programs to support their students and help expand debate access in underserved communities.

Direct Impact

20% of our proceeds go directly to Operation Bluebonnet, ensuring that every student we coach contributes to helping others access debate.

Why This Matters

Debate Changes Lives

Debate teaches critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills that open doors for students. But these opportunities should not be limited to those who can afford them. Every student deserves the chance to develop these skills and discover their potential.

Breaking Barriers

Financial barriers should never prevent a student from pursuing their passion for debate. Operation Bluebonnet works to break down these barriers and create opportunities for students from all backgrounds to participate and excel.

Building Diverse Communities

When we make debate accessible to all students, we build stronger, more diverse debate communities. This diversity strengthens debate itself, bringing new perspectives and ideas to the activity we love.

Creating Future Leaders

By supporting students through Operation Bluebonnet, we're investing in the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers. These students will go on to make a difference in their communities and the world.
