Millennium Robotics is looking for donations from parents, staff, and teachers of Millennium High School to help the students compete and attend events for the Robotics Competition occurring this year in Arizona.

We would like to establish potential sponsors for each year, and encourage parents to donate, as they can claim up to 200 dollars on their taxes (400 for married couples) for donations to the school, and the Millennium Cyber Tigers Robotics Club.

This would help the club significantly, and play an important role in allowing the students to continue to participate, and attend, the various robotic competitive events, and continue to develop the students interest in the STEM fields of Robotics, Engineering, Computer Science, and Mathematics.
