I'd say watching free, participating sounds about right especially if you can get a discount on shirts (typically, a T-shirt can run about $10-$15; larger amounts become cheaper per shirt). Then you put out a can for donations.

this sounds like a great idea, maybe for a small one-day project you could get some spare supplies, like wood, some small motors (like you would find in a xbox controller), some mini plastic gears and some scrap wire and have the kids build mini electric vehicles out of them providing all the necessary parts and having them race them at the end of the day. also allowing them to keep the car for an $X donation to the team
