Miami-Dade Urban Debate League Inaugural Awards Gala

The Inaugural Debate Gala celebrates the powerful voices of our student debaters while building critical support for the future of the league. This premier event will bring together business, legal, education, and philanthropic leaders to honor student achievement and fund our expanding impact—particularly our new Debate en Español program for Spanish-speaking youth.

​

Dinner attendees can expect to hear presentations from network and the 2026 Debater of the Year and Coach of the Year.  The event will include an open bar, formal dinner, and Paddle Raise (Fund-the-Need) donation auction.
