Dear Donor,

Thank you for your 2025 gift to Rugrunners Robotics Inc. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Rugrunners Robotics is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was formed to inspire and excite young people about science and technology and to promote careers in those areas. Rugrunners Robotics is the proud sponsor of FIRST Team 20, which is based at Shenendehowa High School in Clifton Park, NY. Our team is proud to be a founding member of FIRST, having competed every year since the inaugural year in 1992.

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) inspires in young people, and in their schools and communities, an appreciation of science and technology and of how mastering these can enrich the lives of all. With your help, Rugrunners Robotics provided the students of FIRST Team 20 with hands on experience in solving real world problems even during a challenging and disrupted year.

Your contribution will help the team take on this year’s challenge, “Reefscape”. This year, we will be competing in the Finger Lakes Regional in Rochester, NY and the New York Tech Valley Regional at the MVP Arena.. Last year, this talented team competed in regional competitions at Rockland Community College (Hudson Valley Regional) and at the MVP Arena (Tech Valley Regional).

They also brought home the judge's award. At the NY Tech Valley Regional, they ranked 13th of 51 teams, and were first pick for Alliance 4 for playoffs.
