Our heartfelt thanks to the many FIRST sponsors, suppliers, and contributors who have helped us make an impact on our youth this year.  Companies and organizations around the world not only donate monetary funding, but also donate employee volunteer hours and hardware to make FIRST programs possible.  These companies have a shared belief in the FIRST mission and its values of teamwork, Gracious Professionalism, and the pursuit of science and technology excellence.  Their generosity makes it possible for FIRST to expand our reach to ever more young people, teachers, mentors, business and technology leaders, schools and entire communities.
