RAISING FUNDS FOR WORLDS
We're headed to the championship in Houston, TX April 17-20! Moving and housing this many kids, a robot, and all of our tools and gear is an expensive proposition. Our target goal is to raise $10,000 to defray the travel costs and make some robot improvements. Most of our help comes from small businesses and individuals, and it's difficult for a small school like ours to get money from the big corporate sponsors that fund many of the large schools against which we will be competing. If you can give, please click on the "Donate Now" button below, and be sure to direct your contribution to the robotics team! THANK YOU!
How Can I Help?
-
Only five teams in the state of Georgia have qualified to go to the FTC World Championship Tournament in Houston, TX, April 17-20.
-
Based on our performance at the GA State Championship, we have an excellent opportunity to be competitive in Houston, but we need help getting there. We’re seeking to raise $10,000 to help our team get to Houston and fund some much-needed equipment purchases, so we can stay competitive in the future.
