2026 DECA International Career Development Conference Fundraiser:
We are excited to launch a fundraising campaign to help talented DECA members from Lincoln Public Schools attend the International Career Development Conference (ICDC) in Atlanta, GA this April. ICDC is an unforgettable event where students from around the world develop valuable leadership and career skills while competing at the international level. This conference is the highlight of many members' DECA experience.

In order to ensure all qualifying competitors from LPS get a chance to attend this conference, we are in need of additional funding. Your generous donation will directly support student travel, experiences, accommodations, and registration costs, providing these hardworking students with an opportunity to represent our community and grow in their careers. Every contribution counts in helping them reach their full potential.

Thank you for supporting the next generation of leaders and innovators!

For our AVID students, a college visit is more than just a field trip—it’s a glimpse into their own future. This December, we are taking our dedicated scholars to the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) to explore campus life firsthand.
We want our students to experience the true "heart" of the campus: the Student Union. We are raising funds to provide each student with a meal on campus, allowing them to sit among current Mavericks, soak in the atmosphere, and truly visualize themselves as college students.
The Goal: $930.00 ($1,060.44 with cost reimbursement fees)
The Cost: Just $14 per student covers a full meal and the experience of a lifetime.
Deadline: December 2026

The Lincoln East Speech Team has worked tirelessly all season, and their dedication has earned 30 students a coveted spot at the prestigious Tournament of Champions (TOC) in Shakopee, MN. This national competition brings together the best and brightest from across the country - last year, over 1,100 students from 268 teams and 25 states competed. East Speech made history, finishing as the National Runners-up, and we are eager to continue this legacy of excellence.

However, getting to TOC comes at a cost. We are seeking $5,000, plus cost reimbursement, to help cover entry fees, transportation, and accommodations, ensuring that every qualified student has the opportunity to compete. These students have put in countless hours refining their performances, and we don’t want financial barriers to stand in the way of their success.

Your support will make a direct impact - helping over 30 dedicated students represent our school, our district, and our state on a national stage. Every contribution brings us one step closer to our goal.

Thank you for championing these students and their voices!
