Regional Directors will hook you up with a JCPenney within 20 miles of your team.

Rookie year, the team gets $6500 in unrestricted funds. Along with whatever support the store will give the team. Totally depends on the store and team chemistry how well this works.

Second year, a team can get $2000.

Third year, a team can get $1000.

The key to connecting with a store is your Regional Director.

Another option for a rookie team is to have a Boeing Mentor and apply for a grant from Boeing. The mentor (active or retired) applies for a grant from Boeing around mid September. The funds are restricted to paying your registration fee.
