To Whom It May Concern:
Hello, my name is Sham and I am a member of Downsview Robotic Team (DRT), FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) Team 5031- DRT. The DRT team was formed during the
2012 - 2013 season. The year 2014 will mark the DRT’s first year competing in the FIRST Robotics Challenge, a competition where about 2,300 teams from around the world only have six weeks to design, build and program robots to complete different challenges. FIRST was founded in 1989 to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology.
Downsview Robotic Team is made up of approximately 25 high school students, all from Downsview Secondary School. Although our team is a school-based team that is part of the Toronto District School Board, we do not have full financial support from the TDSB. For our team to continue functioning and inspiring students in our community we rely on generous donations from local businesses to not only cover the cost of building materials but also the cost of registration. Our budget goal for the 2014 season is $12,500. The DRT is dependent on generous donations to continue thriving and discovering exactly what we can accomplish when we work as a team.
We ask for your donations to help our team to expand. Supporting our team offers many benefits to the community. Local students will have the chance to learn and develop many new skills. They will be learning not only engineering and design skills, but will also be developing leadership, business, public speaking, coaching, and communication skills. We are looking to provide these students the necessary skills to become the next leaders in our community and beyond. We would also like to invite you to our facility where some of our students can meet with you and your colleagues for a more in-depth discussion of our team and all we do, and would like to do in the future.
Every donation greatly impacts our Downsview Robotic Team as a whole; anything would greatly aid our team and would allow us to continue spreading the message of FIRST. DRT will advertise the companies who have provided donations and will provide a display of all the companies who support our Team.
Thanking you in advance for your support of Downsview Robotic Team.
Sincerely,
Sham Syal, Lead in Downsview Robotic Team
