Smile FIRST Half-Back Fundraising Concept
We've all seen so many teams fall to the lack of support, especially the financial struggle. Since I've now had the chance to see a few of my former students move on to 6-figure salaries, I wonder why how many teams get $$ support from former FRC team members?

That led me to thinking that what would be a fair donation? 1/2 of a percent of their annual salary would mean someone making $100,000 would donate $500 to their old team.

Then I decided a catchy name could be "FIRST Half-Back". It's clear, simple, and never hurts to connect a sports theme.

I'm putting it out there in Delphi land, wondering if any alums surfing the forums had any input, opinions. My initial local response has been decent.

Thoughts are welcome!
