The Foundation pays the cost of Destination Imagination teams at the six elementary schools and Nagel, and will expand to the high schools as existing teams move up. These costs include team manager materials, entrance fees for the regional, state and global tournament, and partial transportation costs for state and global tournaments. In 2018-19, the Foundation funded 30 teams, including the Wilson elementary team pictured that advanced to the state tournament.
DI teams are led by adult volunteer team managers. If you are interested in starting a team at your child’s school, click here.
