Alabama Elementary & Junior Betas will be collecting brand new stuffed animals to donate to local fire departments. They will be provided to children when first responders arrive on a scene of an emergency that involves them or their families. Please ensure that they are NEW and average size- please do not bring oversized stuffed animals.

We’re excited to team up with BAND, the official communication app for National Beta, to help sponsors, adult chaperones and parents/guardians stay connected during our events! Whether it’s room changes, schedule updates, lost and found info, or other important announcements—you’ll find it all in one easy place.
