My child and their robotics teammates have worked incredibly hard all year, dedicating countless hours to building, programming, and competing. Out of 10-12 meets, they were only able to attend 4 because their robot hadn’t arrived on time. Even with so little time, they placed for state and now Worlds. This is the first year for the robotics team and they have excelled further than anyone thought possible.

Their efforts paid off when they were selected to attend the world’s championship meet—a huge honor and an exciting opportunity that came up at the last minute. As a group of underdogs, being invited to this event is a privilege none of us take lightly, and it’s a testament to the team’s determination and teamwork.

We’re reaching out to our friends, family, and community to help make this trip possible. The funds raised will go directly toward food, a few outings in St. Louis, fuel costs, and the overall expenses of attending the championship. Every donation, big or small, will help ease the financial burden and allow these talented kids to focus on representing our community with pride.

This is possibly a once in a lifetime chance for these students, and we’d be so grateful for any support you can offer. Your generosity will help create memories, open doors, and inspire the next generation of innovators. Thank you for believing in our team!
