Please join us for a Bowling Fundraiser on Friday, April 17, 2026 from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm to celebrate the end of the Rebuilt regular season and raise funds for the World Championship! The event will be at Bowlero Glendale (172010 N 59th Ave, Glendale, AZ 85308).

Tickets for the fundraiser are $20 per person, or $100 for a full lane (accommodates 6 bowlers). Shoe rentals, pizza, and a soda pitcher are included at each lane! We will also have the 2025 robot on display, a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, and other surprises in store!

Lane Sponsorships are also available! A $25 Lane Sponsorship covers the pizza for one lane and gives you naming rights: a name/message of your choice will be included at the lane(s) you sponsor.

Following an amazing run in 2025, Team 498 has had an extremely successful start to the 2026 season, beginning with a double-banner performance at the Pike's Peak Regional on March 3-5, 2026, in Colorado Springs, CO (winning the Regional Championship, receiving the Regional Impact Award, and qualifying for the FRC World Championship in Houston, TX)! They closed out the first week of the season ranked 1st in AZ, 3rd in the USA, and 4th in the World! Before the team heads to the Championship in May, they will be competing at the Green Country Regional in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April 1-4, 2026.

2026 YTD:

18 Matches Played

16-2 Record

1 Regional Championship Win (Pike's Peak Regional)

1 Regional Impact Award (Pike's Peak Regional)

With these accolades, the team has qualified for the FIRST World Championship in Houston, Texas for the sixth season in a row. The team will be raising over $50,000 to finance the trip. They are actively looking for sponsors, in kind donations, and funding for travel as the PUSD students compete alongside the best teams in the world. The team is currently accepting Arizona State Tax Credit Donations to help cover costs.

We hope you will consider helping these amazing kids continue building on their already successful season.

We truly appreciate your support!
