Also for this part can the wording be changed to “Aunt Liza couldn’t give the children of Albion Mountain everything, but she gave them what she had. This competition is our way of doing the same thing—at scale, every year.

Every child who enters the spelling bee receives a backpack filled with school supplies for the upcoming school year and a free meal, because we believe every child deserves to leave with something that helps them succeed. Winners in each age group are awarded scholarships, laptops, and tablets to help continue their educational journey.

Every other spelling bee is about words. This one is about how words can open doors, create opportunities, and unlock futures these children have always deserved but have too often gone without.”
