Sponsors Companies & individuals

Every robot is paid for by people who believe in these students.

Robot parts, tools, and competition entry fees are funded entirely by sponsors and donors. There is no paid staff. Your support goes to the robot and the students who build it.

Your gift supports Hope Horizon's robotics pathway, from elementary school through the Churrobots.

03 Why sponsor

What your support actually buys.

A FIRST® Robotics Competition season has real costs: competition registration, motors, controllers, aluminum, batteries, tools, and travel. In 2024 the trip to the World Championship alone had a $40,000 fundraising goal.

/ 01

Robot parts & tools

Everything from drivetrain motors to the machines in the workshop that students learn on.

/ 02

Competition fees

Regional registration and, when the team qualifies, the World Championship.

/ 03

Travel

Getting 20+ students, the robot, and the pit to events, including Houston in 2024.

Students who stay

Most ChurroBots will be the first in their families to go to college. Your support helps get them there.
