Robotics worlds problem. (6)

1 Name: Twilin !O5bSNXCLVI : 2017-04-10 17:52 ID:8MMDDZY/ [Del]

So my robotics team qualified for worlds. but now we need to raise at least $12,000 for just our drive team to go. and we have under a week to get it all. Our school doesn't even really support us with this even. so is there any ideas that anyone has that we can pull off in like a day or two.

so thanks to the efforts of another team(notSaaaaaarah(1318)) we have gotten a gofundme page up to help us send atleast our drive team to worlds and i was wondering if anyone would be willing to help share the page to help us get our drive team out there. https://www.gofundme.com/fund-pnw-teams

That's awesome man! I use to be part of a Robotics team 2 years ago before I moved. I understand the struggle there is for getting money to go places, the school I went to, they didn't support the team that much, it was treated as an After School activity like the Anime Club and such instead of an actual team, so yeah.
I am currently short on money, but I will help support it when I do get the money, along with spreading the word to the Robotics team I use to be in/friends and followers I have on websites.
I will be praying and hoping you guys get to go!

I'm just at least trying to get it to be shared to help spread it.

My team has this problem as well and have a couple fundraisers each year. We host dinners, auctions, volunteer at concession stands, sell t-shirts, and sell mugs. Also our coach appealed to our school board and managed to get a little funding that way too.
Quick ways to raise money...you can try car washes, have some kind of walk (and people pledge money/mile or something), bake sales, etc.
I suggest that next year you guys prepare in advance and just save the money in a team account. Even if you don't qualify that year, at least the money will be there.
