Bots for Cancer

[ksafin]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to tell you all about an event Team 3992 decided to start, called Bots for Cancer

Our very first FRC Regional will be the South Florida Regional, March 29 - 31.

On the 31st, after the regional, our team will be attending a Relay For Life (an event created by the American Cancer Society and hosted across the country). This event is about raising money for cancer research.

We are trying to raise money for this, but at the same time, have a big goal in mind: at the event, talk to others about how cancer research, among everything else, is due to the hard work of scientists, engineers, researchers, etc.

The event is hosted at our school, and FIRST became part of a club we started last year. So, part of our reason for doing so is to inspire other students (many of the attendees are students) to join the FRC team next year.

We're hoping to also show of our robot by bringing it after the regional, and talk to people about the entire season process and our FIRST experience, to hopefully get them passionate about FIRST.

I just wanted to tell you all about this in the hopes that maybe you are interested in doing a similar event in your area - Relay for Life is across the country, I'm sure there's one near you!

Lastly, if any of you would like to donate toward our teams fundraising goal, please feel free via this link! Any donation goes toward finding the cure.
