At IRI, there is so much going on with the robot competition, the excitement in the crowd, and all of the team interactions - that it is simply incredible. In a somewhat quieter way, there is even more going on with the various opportunities provided by the host teams for folks to contribute. They can donate to more than one charity in ways that impact those communities and help all of the teams understand the needs of those communities that they are a part of for the weekend.

Those of us who visit don't get to see the smiles of the children who benefit from the backpacks or how the food supplies are purchased to stock the food banks or where the precious bags of life-giving blood are distributed to from donations made at the blood mobile. This photo gives us the rare opportunity to see some of the results of some of the quieter moments that occurred at IRI 2009 even while an amazing competition was happening. Moments that continue to impact and make a difference.

Thank you for posting this, Chris. Rock on guys.

Jane
