We are a Catholic High School in Pennsylvania. We have been involved in FIRST for 11 years. We have the same problem. Please visit our web site at www.frc272.com to see our FLL competition. We have run a tune-up competition for 10 years. Last year hosted 55 teams. Our studenst are the referees, queuers, announcers, scorers, video, DJ, etc. We make about $4000 per year. We also do a hoagie (sandwich, hero, subs) sale. We make and sell 1500 sandwiches to sell at the local parishes after mass on Super Bowl Sunday morning. We make about $5000 at that.

Both of these are things that others in the school or area do not do so we have no competition. We are now known for these.

Please let us know if you have any questions.
