If you are looking at ways to support just Red River Robotics, we still have our donation site at http://bit.ly/RRHSDonate. Last year, our group used roughly $4,000 for travel, team registration ($100 per team) for each competition, and equipment. The last three years, we have gained a spot at the World Tournament in which we fundraise to lower the cost for the students to pay out of pocket. We also have community spirit nights at various restaurants in town. These dates will be posted on our social media sites and on the Grand Forks Public Schools homepage.
You will receive personal thank you cards and receive framed certificates to display in our businesses. We appreciated all the support we have received in past years. We hope to keep you informed during this school season how the year is going.
The Grand Forks Public Schools have created a new opportunity to reach out for support of the community for our growing robotics needs. Because of the expansion at the high school level and the elementary and middle school students now asking for more robotics opportunities, we need more funding. If your business would like to help support the VEX Robotics programs in the Grand Forks area, please visit our website at http://bit.ly/VEXSponsorship or contact Tracy Jentz by email: tjentz240@mygfschools.org or by phone: 701-787-4187. Below you will find the different tiers that are available.
