Financial

Participation in FIRST is not only demanding, invigorating and fun, but financially challenging as well. The Dragons are not funded by FIRST or any school, so we depend on the generous support of corporate sponsors, local businesses and private contributions. Our annual fund raising goal is $20,000.

Choose a level that is right for you. In addition to knowing you're helping kids do great things, you contribution will be recongized in the following ways

Amount -> Recongition	Platinum $5000	Gold $2500	Bronze $1000	Dragon $250	Friend $250
