Become a SPOnsor
SWIFT Robotics Youth Club is a non-profit organization that can only function with the deep dedication of many volunteers and the valuable support of sponsors. We require funding for the purchase of robot electronics, components, and building materials; tools and equipment; team uniforms; computers and tablets; travel to competitions; SITE occupancy and operations; and other items associated with club activities.
It is an excellent cause, as we open the eyes of the students to explore new areas of engineering, science and technology that they have not known about before. An overwhelming percentage of students involved in these FIRST programs go on to careers in engineering, science and technology.
Our organization could not function without the support of our partners. We value their support and strive to get our sponsors as much exposure as possible. Partnering with our team is truly a win-win partnership where our team receives support while we in turn support our partner goals.
