QotW 07-06-03: Fundraising
Summertime is down time for many teams, but just as many use this time to prepare for the upcoming school year and FIRST Robotics season.
Money is of particular importance to many teams and finding ways to raise a lot of it are sometimes key to having a successful, worry-free season.
Question of the Week 07-06-03: What has been your team's most successful fundraiser? How did it work, how much money did you make and how long did it last?
During the 2003 season, team 810 raffled a Mercedes Benz C230 sports coupe with a stipulation in place that made sure they'd make a profit from the raffle. This mean that if there were not enough tickets sold to cover the cost of the car, a cash prize would be awarded instead.
Ultimately, while the car was out of reach, the team made ~$13,000 and a student's parents won an additional ~$13,000.
What're some other amazing results?
