Thanks for your support!The EngiNERDs would like to extend a very sincere THANK YOU to everyone who helped support our efforts to raise funds for Children's Miracle Network at Hurley Medical Center in Flint. Our First Annual Extra Life gaming marathon raised over $1,700 for children and families in need, and without your assistance, it would not have been possible.
Our Extra Life gaming marathon was host to more than 50 students, mentors, friends, and family from four FIRST Robotics Teams, representing more than six schools. Want to make a donation, but weren't able to prior to the gaming marathon? Extra Life is still open to accept donations, so please head over to our fundraising page by clicking on the icon on the right. |
