We can’t stop thinking about how incredible our donors (and supporters) showed up for our students 🤍

A huge thank you to NPTE Final Frontier ( ), Scorebuilders ( ), and Complete Concussions ( ) for providing some truly impactful prizes! From a full live NPTE prep course with extended access, to comprehensive study bundles and lifetime learning tools, to a full concussion rehab certification course. These are the kinds of resources that truly elevate both exam prep and clinical confidence.
We also want to highlight that, thanks to our sponsorship contributions, one attendee walked away with WH-1000XM6 Best Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones 🎧
Congratulations to our winners:
Alex Chavez, SPT (Final Frontier)
