Community FIRST is an international volunteering day, founded by FRC team RoboActive #2096, in which all the participating teams place their robot aside and set the community on their first priority.

Woodie Flowers was the first person to believe in Community FIRST. He saw the potential of this day even before the day even held. As the entire FIRST community knows, Woodie has been an inspiration to all: Students, alumni, mentors, volunteers and even our families.

As an honor to his inspiration, vision and legacy, we are proud to name Community FIRST in the memory of Woodie Flowers

Over the years, 345 teams from 29 countries and 57,000 people who were involved in the teams' initiavives took part and united under one goal - spreading science and technology.
