Schools with FRC & FLL teams at Championships?

I am a mentor to FRC Team 229 (Massena CS/Salmon River CS/Clarkson Univ) and a Coach to FLL Team Jaguar Roar-botics (Massena CS), both of which are going to be in attendance at the Championships in St. Louis. Have any other FRC teams experienced this (Having both FRC and FLL [or FTC] teams in competition at the Championships at the same time)?

The only reason I ask is that there is a strong possibility that support for the robotics program (all levels) may be going away for next year. Team 229 has supported all level of FIRST (except JrFLL) since early on. In cooperation with Clarkson University we help host FTC and FLL tournaments and help mentor over 30 FTC & FLL teams. It would be a shame for such a successful, worthwhile program to lose the support of the school district!

While I don't think that a school having two teams attending different levels of the FIRST Championships in the same year is unique, I do think it shows the strength and value of our program. I would like data to support this view.
Thank you!
