We are currently seeking partners and sponsors!
With a budget of approximately $85k, we depend on our generous sponsors to support the hard work these students put in each season. Over 30 students in grades 9-12 will participate in this year’s competitive robotics team. FRC 3824 “RoHAWKtics” receives funding through the HVA Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to educational and professional development of Hardin Valley Academy.
Our current needs include:
Funding
Student fees are currently $250/season. This fee may not even cover registration costs.
Without our sponsors, parents would be required to shoulder roughly 11x this amount!
Keeping fees at an affordable rate ensures our students have every opportunity to succeed.
In-kind gifts
Monetary funding is key, but we need more than just money.
We need tools, parts, consumables, manufacturing services, and food!
Through FIRST™, we are building more than just robots. Participation in FIRST™ competitions will prepare our students for future careers in STEM and other professional fields as they gain both technical and soft skills (such as teamwork and communication). By supporting HVA RoHAWKtics, you are supporting workforce development in the Greater Knoxville area
Please email rohawktics@gmail.com to learn about current special funding opportunities, arrange a meeting with our student leaders, or to become a sponsor.
