Benson’s SkillsUSA chapter is no stranger to gold at both the state and national championship levels.  This year was no different.  Benson students took home gold at the state level in 5 different competitions (see below for full results).  Now these 7 students are ready to travel to the national championships in late June, but they need to raise $9,000 to cover travel, food and lodging costs for a week.
