Sponsors
Why do people sponsor our team and FIRST as a whole? Because sponsors realize the importance of a better educated new generation, one which is taught important lessons about teamwork, leadership, and "Gracious Professionalism.” Sponsors provide the team with the resources needed to educate members about technology, engineering, and the values of FIRST. These companies and organizations know that the future rests with the students, and that better members of society mean a better future.
