Help a Rookie Team Go to Nationals!!!

[GGCO]

I'm from team 3357 a rookie team from Grand Rapids, Michigan. This year has been phenomenal. We are registered to go to Nationals, and are in the process of securing funds to finance this trip.

We started our team in early December, and despite a late start, having to change build spaces a week into the build season, and a general lack of experience, we build a highly competitive robot within the six week season.

Our team has won the Rookie All-Star award once at Traverse City and again at the Michigan State Championship as well as the Rookie Inspiration Award at the West Michigan District Event.

But we've also performed very well on the field. We were in 7th place at TC, ended up WINNING the West Michigan District Event, and are in 20th place overall in the state of Michigan.

Our performance on the field, and our recognition from the FIRST community has allowed us to qualify for Nationals. We need to raise $10,000 total to cover this trip, and are halfway there.

If you would like to make a donation to our team, you can do so through our website. All donations are 2010 tax deductible, and no amount is too small. We greatly appreciate your support! Thank you!
