At the SoCal Regional this year, The Ahmanson Foundation gave a grant to teams that qualified for the Championship at the regional to cover the entry fee ($5K). It's true that transportation, lodging and food are additional costs that a team must bear to participate, but getting the entry fee covered is a great motivator for teams to raise those additional funds. It would be great if other philanthropic organizations would "adopt" other regionals. It is equally important that teams that receive this type of support recognize the contribution by displaying the organization's name prominently on their robot, team shirts, and that the field announce/MC identifies the contribution during team introductions.
