A member of our community and organization could use your help. Trey Gibson, who has been a longtime debate coach in Louisiana as well as someone who has been instrumental in the growth and success of IPDA since its inception has been rocked by some very humbling news. His 9 year-old daughter was diagnosed on September 9th with a DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma). IPDA would like to assist Trey and his family by allowing coaches and competitors from all over the circuit to pitch in whatever they can to help a friend and colleague in this tremendous time of need. Every dime collected by this account will go directly to helping fund Emilie's care and the Gibson family travel wherever that care may be. Thank you in advance for any contribution you and your team can make and please feel free to contact senior leadership members of the organization if you have questions. We will try to answer any you may have.
