APRIL 2022 I PCB007 MAGAZINE 63 Collins: Fundraising will look very different depending on where the teams are, such as eastern Washington vs. eastern Oregon, and what's available to them. It's learning about your community, then tapping into resources where you can show how donations support students and the value it gives. Matties: You are doing very important work and you are greatly appreciated. Collins: ank you very much. Matties: Do you have anything else to share regarding FIRST? Collins: e first thing would be to come to a competition if there's one in your area, because that speaks volumes. I can't tell you how many times I try to explain it and people don't get it, but as soon as they see it in action, they're blown away. Reach out to your school, and find out if there's a team in your area. Matties: If someone wants to be a sponsor, what's the best way for them to sponsor a team? Collins: Visit firstwa.org for information, but Lila Mowatt, director of fundraising, will be happy to help you out. She can let you know if there's a local team in your area or pass them off to me if they need help. Matties: ank you so much for your time today. Collins: ank you. ank you very much.
