Hi Cheryl,
I came across your robotics site while surfing the Internet and want to help. I see that you are seriously in need to raising funds. I'm not sure if it's late for this year but I want to put this offer on the table for you to consider.
I don't know if you are familiar with the Engineering Education Service Center but we offer several pre-engineering publications for high school and mature middle school. Although we are going through a very rough time I wanted to offer our publications as fundraisers. The Beach City Robotics Team could sell them and keep 40% of the sale. For example, "Is There an Engineer Inside You?" sells for $15.95 so you would make $6.38 on every book. Overall, you should be able to raise $500-$2000 or better (depends how ambitious your students are).
We've never done a fundraiser before but would be happy to learn quickly. The graduation months (May & June) are usually a very good time to do a program like this. I just spent the last hour reading everything on your website and want to help somehow. Check out our site and let me know what you think.
Thanks!
