End of year celebrations!

DC SCORES invites coaches to host end of year celebrations on the day of their choice with their teams at their schools to honor all of the hard work completed in the past year. DC SCORES will be providing party kits with treats and giveaways for poet-athletes, which will be distributed the weeks of May 12th and May 19th. 

We will also be reimbursing coaches up to $100 for any food and drinks purchased for your celebration. Please feel free to invite other community members to your celebration (school permitting) and take lots of pictures to share with the DC SCORES staff!

For questions, please reach out to your site manager or Tatiana Figueroa Ramirez.
