NAACP ACT-SO National Competition Collected by Creative Reach

Supporting a competitor in the NAACP ACT-SO National Competition.

A gold medal earned. A national stage waiting.

ACT-SO is the NAACP’s Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics: a national program where high school students compete in the arts, sciences, humanities, and business, coached and championed by their communities. Think of it as an Olympics of the mind.

This year, Brayden Landry competed, delivered, and earned a gold medal! That medal comes with an invitation: represent our community at the ACT-SO national competition in Chicago, July 15–19, alongside top students from across the country.

The trip is almost fully funded.

Early sponsors covered the big-ticket items: registration is paid and the seat on the plane is booked. What remains is the last leg — hotel, meals, and getting around Chicago. That’s the part the community can carry home.
