Re: JC Penny expand their support for FIRST Robotics !!!!!

Our regional director arranged for the JC Penneys funding for the teams in our area. I believe that each individual store donates to their closest team, within a specified distance. The manager of our store, when she came to visit our team, mentioned about having fundraisers at the store over the summer.


And the t-shirts are nice but we didn't wear them either as our official shirt. I don't think that was a requirement.


I know there has been a lot of criticism about JCP only giving money, but I think we need to be careful we don't kill the goose. If all JCP hears back from the teams are Why aren't you doing more to help us?, the money may disappear. One corporation can't do everything. Teams should be proactive and helping themselves, not just sitting back and waiting for help.
