**FIRST EMAIL**/A Vote to Help FIRST

[Mark McLeod]

A Vote to help FIRST!
You may be familiar with Google's Project 10^100 (Project 10 to the 100) where Google opened up a suggestion box for ways to solve world problems that fell into different categories. Well, a FIRST’s team suggestion was picked to go into a small group of only 67 selected suggestions out of the over 150,000 suggestions received. Grouped into 16 categories, these suggestions are now up for final voting by the world! Of these 16 categories, up to five categories will be selected as winners of the $10,000,000 prize money – which will be split among them (so $2 million per category).

Go to http://www.project10tothe100.com/submit.html?id=T09 and cast your vote for this category which involves using funds to spread FIRST to more students and schools around the world!
Voting ends on Thursday, October 8th --- so please help by voting soon! And if you can encourage others to vote as well – that would be great!
Best,
FIRST®

Just did the math, there were 1500+ teams last year and if there are around 1700 teams this year that is about $1200 per FRC team. That does not include if the money will go to FTC, FLL, or JFLL teams. Hey, it's still money.
