Just think of it as you had a meal at McDonalds or even you put in 5 dollars of gas in your car to drive around. It will help someone out. How can it be done? Just like it was pointed out earlier, a Paypal account can be setup where we send the money for Katrina relief fund.

... 1000 teams in first, about 35 students per team that mean 35,0000 students in FIRST. Everybody donates 5 dollars, that's 1,750,000 Bucks. Think that would be a bit from one organization to help them out?
I agree with this idea. It would not be much money per team, but if a lot of teams do this, there would be a lot of money, even more then a local team could raise on their own.
