 My father taught me long ago that how we respond to adversity is what defines us as human beings. Let's all keep this definition in mind as we move forward to change a culture. - Rich Kressly [more] |

Re: What Does "Our Team Really Needs Funding" Mean To You?
I know exactly what you mean. Our team was having a hard time this year on raising funds, and it was only through a generous donation by a parent that we are able to compete this year.
One thing I think that could help (which I think they have) is ways for companies to donate to a team through FIRST itself. We had been turned down multiple times by companies in our areas because they would not donate to a Booster club, which is where our funds are "stored". Or maybe even if the regional FIRST associations would do that sort of service. I know the Texas FIRST just recently got 501(c)3 status. Just a thought.
