FIRST fellows,
This is our 10th year of existence and we are proud to participate every year in US both in regional and on the championship.
The trip Brazil/US requires a lot of money and a lot of time planning it.
Our last time on the nationals was in Atlanta 2009. Now, as Chairman´s Award winners in Hub City regional, we are very happy with the possibility to visit St Louis for the first time.
Every year we reach our needs through our sponsors. This year was not different, we went to two different regionals (we never did it). However, for the championship we were not prepared.
Unfortunately, Brazil is facing an economic crisis and the money we need is difficult to reach.
For the first time we are asking to the community to help us, and we start an online campaign to raise funds.
Our goal is to send only 6 (the minimum we need to compete) students.
We want to ask for your help too. It´s not the ideal situation but that the way we found to continue our successful work as a 10-year FIRST participant.
Here is a link for our campaign. We have some explaining text in English too.

To help us, we ask for two different actions, please help as you can.
1. Share with your community so more people can see and help
2. Donate yourself
To donate you need to click on the orange button “Quero Contribuir”, choose your amount. Put your payment information and it’s done.
We hope we can reach our goals
Thanks for all your support.
Hope to see you in St Louis
