Every ad helps fill the gap.

The gap fund helps 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 team, it fills the gap, so students can work a real campaign for a national brand.

District 10 has more national NSAC wins than any other district, a streak dating back to 1973.
