Help us fundraise for Raas All Stars XVII 2025: The National Championship in Chicago!
We are excited to announce that after a highly competitive season, we have qualified to compete at Raas All Stars XVII, the national inter-collegiate Raas- Garba championship for the 2025 season! This prestigious national inter-collegiate Raas-Garba championship brings together the top 9 teams in the country, and we’re proud to represent Northeastern University here for the third year in a row!
Raas All Stars attracts a crowd of about one thousand people in person, and tens of thousands of viewers from across the country. We will be performing at Harris Theater, one of Chicago's most prestigious performance venues. In order to fund our team-covered costs such as registration fees, our hotel in downtown Chicago, and production costs, we will incur significant team costs, typically upwards of five thousand to compete; travel prices aren’t yet included in this cost and would raise this price further. Due to this high financial burden, we are reaching out to donors through the greater Northeastern community for support.
For us, Garba and Raas serve as meaningful ways to express our culture and creativity, and we can’t wait to share the results of all the hard work we’ve dedicated this year!
