2013 Boys and Girls Club Teams

[molecularmommy]

In August, I communicated with Debbie Davis, VP of Government Relations at the Boys and Girls Club (this was after working my way up the food chain). This was her response to my inquiry regarding the status of a collaboration between B&G Club and FIRST:

Right now we are just starting to educate our Clubs (we have 4,000 across the country) about FIRST and their programs. We are doing that at a series of Leadership Conferences that will take place this fall. Currently we do not have any pass through funding for our Clubs for this initiative (which is our goal), so it will roll out slowly. At this point it is up to each individual Club as to whether they will implement the program or not, but our goal is to have 75% of all Clubs participating in the next 5 years, assuming we secure the funding to do so.

Well we are based in a boys and girls club and sponsored by our club, but I guess we arnt sponsored by the boys and girls club. Do you know how we could apply for funds?
