Help a robotics team of minorities make it to FIRST State Competition

So to make this quick, my robotics team recently placed 1st in the FRC Southfield District Event and we’re on our way to states, but we need 5000 dollars to pay for our entrance in the competition… We don’t have any money besides what was donated to us so far since we used our budget to pay for our limited resources to fix our robot and improve it since our last competition.

Considering we’re a very small team of thirteen middle eastern teens (7 girls, 6 boys), this is a big deal! Except our district won’t give us any money despite this, which makes the issue of not having money all the more pressing.

Please consider donating! We’re doing all the fundraising we can but we need YOUR HELP to reach our goal. Our deadline is April. If you can’t donate, please reblog this, we need all the help we can get! ^^;

You can check pictures of the competitions out at Daniel Ernst’s Flickr. If you want to spot us, we’re the Robotractors (grey shirts, I use my legs as tables in one of the pictures)

I’m sorry for the lack of pictures on this posts tumblr wouldn’t let me upload it with the pictures.

Please consider donating or at the very least Signal boost! Thank you for your time! https://www.youcaring.com/fordsonroboticsteam5467robotractors-1137007
