Good Morning, and Happy Friday!
Today, I want to highlight a creative opportunity to support the BHS FIRST Robotics Team, the DevilBotz. This team works together to build a robot to precise specifications that they can take to competitions across the state. They also spread the word about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in the community, leading fun activities for all ages at town-wide events.
The materials, work, and travel add up, though, and the team relies on fundraising to help pay for their expenses. They’ve been running a GoFundMe for a bit, and they’re more than halfway to their goal! But from now until December 21, they are running a raffle to give their efforts a boost.
From Business Team Co-Leader Inesh Parikh, “We were generously gifted a 14K [peridot and diamond] Halo Ring from Princess Diamonds (in Burlington) valued at $1750, and we want to hold a raffle to raise money.” The raffle will be held on December 21, and tickets are $10 each. You can enter and see the pretty bling here and Venmo the entry fee to @devilbotz. Let’s help this mighty team reach their goals this year!
