Phillips Medisize/Molex Awards Grant

Local Tech Leaders Fuel Future Innovators: River Falls Robotics Receives Grant

RIVER FALLS, WI — The future of STEM in River Falls just got a boost. The River Falls Robotics Booster Club is proud to announce generous donations totalling $10,600 from Phillips Medisize, a Molex company.  These include Molex sponsorships for the FIRST teams (FIRST Robotics | Molex) and a local Phillips Medisize donation for the VEX team.  

This contribution is part of a broader commitment to supporting the Robotics programs within the River Falls school district, ensuring that students have the resources, parts, and registration support needed to compete at the highest levels.

Empowering Teams Across Every Level

This sponsorship has been strategically allocated to support the River Falls Robotics teams, ranging from the River Falls High School's FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), VEX at the Meyer Middle School, to the foundational FIRST LEGO League (FLL).

A Growing Partnership

The official sponsorship letters were distributed to coaches last week, marking the beginning of another exciting season of collaboration between local industry leaders and student engineers. By investing in these teams, Molex and Phillips Medisize are not just funding robots; they are investing in the next generation of problem-solvers, designers, and community leaders.

Impact on the Community

As the River Falls teams head into their upcoming competitions, they do so with the full backing of a community that values innovation and hands-on learning with STEM activities.
