If rookie KOP's cost FIRST even $3k then rookie contributed net $24k directly to FIRST plus the rest of the 43 teams $172k contributiions sent to FIRST totals +/- $196k. They kicked back around $30k I think. Leaves $166k in their pockets to service all of FIRST. Not a bad profit margin...

Regarding the largess of casinos and hotels...of course we approach them constantly but have never been able to get them to contribute a dime because every one of them channel their charity dollars into causes that help the down trodden and less fortunate residents of our area (more social good- will bang for the buck than helping to finance an event that serves well fed and educated students).

Wait so FIRST is making a 166k profit off of LVR and they might shut it down? I'm not a buisness expert or anything but this doesn't seem like a good idea from any standpoint.
