Will You Help Support My Project?

Dear friends & family,

You may already know that I am a member of The Holy Cows, an incredible FIRST Robotics team at High Tech High. If you do already know about FIRST Robotics, then you understand how helpful a donation of $25 or more can be! Would you like to see my donation page? :) https://www.piggybackr.com/metakirby5/first-robotics

If you don't know about The Holy Cows and FIRST yet, please read on! Our nationally ranked team spends countless hours designing, prototyping and building a unique robot to compete in 2 regional FIRST Robotics competitions and then hopefully on to the National FIRST Robotics Championships!

We also work tirelessly year round in our community to grow an appreciation for science and technology though numerous outreach and community service events. Through FIRST Robotics we are working to create a world where science and technology is celebrated and young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes.

I love FIRST Robotics because:

1. It's given me a chance to experience engineering, and I love it!
2. I've been able to travel all around the U.S. to meet and compete against other fantastic aspiring engineers.
3. I've been able to work with and grow alongside amazing mentors and teammates - they're part of my family now.

My parents love FIRST Robotics because:

1. More than $14.7 million in scholarship dollars are available to FRC team members
2. 88% of FRC alumni went on to college.
3. 86% of FRC alumni reported an increased interest in science and technology.
4. 89% of FRC alumni reported increased self confidence

We are having the hardest fun we'll ever have and are becoming the next generation of innovators and engineers.

I am sending this email to you to ask for your support. My personal goal is to raise at least $1000 to help fund travel expenses. Please check out my piggybackr page at the end of the email to contribute!

Thanks for being interested in my life and reading all the way to the bottom of this email! I'd love for you to follow my progress or pass this on to your friends or business contacts who might be interested in either sponsoring us or helping spread the word about our important cause.

P.S - Remember how I said our team is INCREDIBLE? It's true. We are 4 time San Diego Regional Chairman's winners (highest honor in FIRST) and have our sights set on becoming WORLD Chairman's winners but need your help to ensure that all team members are able to travel to these life changing competitions.

P.P.S - We are also looking for Sponsorship of our entire team as we need to raise a minimum of $30,000 this year to pay for event registration, robot parts, etc. If you can help, don't hesitate to do so - you'll have the thanks of over 60 high schoolers eager to build a robot! Pass it along to anyone who you think can help.

Thank you for your support. It means so much to me!

Sincerely,

Ethan Chan
Director of Engineering
