Donations

LASA Robotics is has a budget of $84,000 for the 2024-25 school year, and more than $30,000 of that generally comes from donations from friends & family, including employer matching.

We are currently $12,500 short of our fundraising goal.

For context, teams that consistently place at State competition have annual budgets of $150,000 to $250,000.  Some have registration dues that are two or three times as much as ours, and others have a ton of corporate sponsors.

Our kids could learn important skills from our mentors even if they were using old RC car parts and cardboard to build a robot.  They would at least have a lot of fun!  But giving them the opportunity to work with strong materials and engage with other teams at a competitive level stokes their passion and drives them to excel.

  • If you know of a business of any size that could potentially partner with Purple Haze, please contact our business team directly: business@lasarobotics.org. The student-led business team and Mentor Claire have created a sponsorship packet and will be happy to have a conversation with you about how best to approach the business.
  • If it is within your means, please consider donating to cover the registration dues and travel fees for another student.

LASA Robotics has quality students and quality mentors.  Let’s find a way to give them quality materials!
