As we speak, nearly $11,000 dollars has been raised to support the Bay Area Urban Debate League through “The Bay Area Urban Debate League Presents…The 2010 Pro Debate Tournament Sponsored by Boston Properties.”  It is not too late to support a team or donate to the overall cause!  Visit the official Pro Debate website for more information!

As we speak, participants in the Pro Debate Tournament are debating it out at the Oakland Marriott City Center (1001 Broadway)! Official pairings are posted below — be sure to stop by our Silent Auction (win gift certificates, hotel vouchers, massages, two nights in Tahoe and much more!) and witness our final round and award ceremony.  It all begins at 5:30 PM.  Visit the official Pro Debate website for a full schedule of events!
