WHAT IS THE GAP FUND?
Collegiate teams working towards the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) national finals must first compete at the District level.
The gap fund helps to make it affordable for student teams to enter and compete in the District 10 NSAC each spring.
Rather than pass the entire cost to each NSAC team, this fund helps fill the gap in funding to make it possible for students to have the experience of being immersed in a real marketing campaign for a national brand.
Your donations to the gap fund provide ongoing funding for student team travel and other expenses needed to compete at theDistrict 10 competition. Because each year brings a new group of students to the District’s education initiatives, you will be offered an opportunity to renew your 100% tax deductible gap fund donation annually.
THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO SUPPORT THE FUTURE OF OUR INDUSTRY.
