Vinny~
I am a student from the Baxter Bomb Squad, the 2000 winner of the Chairman's Award. I just wanted to comment on your observation. Although my team is sponsored by Baxter Healthcare Corporation, we definitely do not have the FINANCIAL backing of a small army. After the 1998 season, Baxter had to cut funds and for the past two years the students of the Bomb Squad have raised our own money. We have and continue to work really hard at fundraising and trying to get our community involved with our team. We have done this through numerous presentations to various civic clubs, working booths at our county fair, holding a regional of our own, etc. . . Altough, Baxter does not fully fund our team, they are always there for us. The engineers from my team are the greatest and have become some of my closest friends, always trying to inspire us students in the true meaning of FIRST. So, even though it may not be financially, my team does have the support of a small army . . . an army of great engineers and a loving community to go along with it.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Bessner
Baxter Bomb Squad, #16
