how our team is funded
how our team is funded
Participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition has significant costs. Our team raises money to help fund building a new robot each year, pay for competition entry fees, purchase team uniforms, replace tools, and pay for travel costs. Annual costs for our team are typically $15-$20K. Approximately 2/3 of the costs are funded through team fees charged to each student. The remainder of our funds are provided by generous sponsors and through other fundraising activities. Our current sponsors are listed below. If you would like to become a sponsor for our team, please contact us at genevarobovikes3067@gmail.com.
