How many teams are supported by a Rotary club?

Our team is making a presentation at a Rotary district conference and would like to give them an idea of how wide spread Rotary's support of FIRST is (FLL/FTC/FRC). Is there an easy way to search a database or the Blue Alliance and get a rough estimate? (e.g. is it tens, hundreds or thousands of FIRST teams which get support from their local Rotary Club?)

The hope is that we can get the larger Rotary International organization to be a supporter/partner of FIRST in general so that we can say to all teams, "talk to your local Rotary Club, they will have heard of FIRST and may be able to provide you with start up funds, contacts with businesses, contacts with potential mentors."

We would then also say to all Rotary Clubs, "This is a great program that needs your support, not only with some seed money but more importantly with some help and mentorship to build technical leadership and business skills"

The attractiveness of such a partnership is that Rotary clubs are all over the world and in most small towns and cities, making them a great contact point for teams who are not located near a large city or corporation.

So if anyone else knows how we can get some information on the involvement to date, that would be great.
