TEAM DUCT TAPE

To the private donors who’ve been contributing via our Network for Good site, your contributions are deeply appreciated!  Every donation, of every size, is applied completely to FTC Team Duct Tape’s World Championship journey, and all donors will be kept regularly updated about the team’s progress through the rest of our season, and into the coming season,if interested.

Learning is for Everyone, the parent sponsor of Team Duct Tape, is a 501C(3) charitable organization, and a GuideStar Exhange Partner in Trust , meaning we regularly update our  nonprofit report to the fullest on GuideStar, sharing information, documentation, and photos with GuideStar visitors.  LIFE Inc. supports and creates innovative, hands-on educational opportunities throughout the Tampa Bay area and online, at little to no cost to participants. Board members draw no salary, and all contributions completely support our programs. 

All donations marked for Team Duct Tape go directly to the team, which deeply appreciates your support.

TDT will be running FTC game demos with other area FTC teams Saturday morning, at the Florida FRC Regional being held at the UCF Arena in Orlando.  We’re looking forward playing for fun and informing others about FTC, and hope to see friends, new and old, there!

Team Duct Tape is happy to count The Breakfast Nook, of Land O’Lakes among our growing contingent of Team Duct Tape supporters.  Owned and operated by the family of one of our team members, who is also an aspiring restaraunteur himself, The Breakfast Nook hopes to soon be featuring a Team Duct Tape signature dish, of which a percentage of sales will benefit the team in our quest to raise funds for our upcoming FIRST World Championship competition. We’re delighted at the prospect and can’t wait to see what we inspire!

The Breakfast Nook has also offered to host a fundraiser event for us as well.  We’ll keep you posted! Thank you, Breakfast Nook!  We appreciate your support and encouragement, and hope others will head out to enjoy a meal at The Breakfast Nook: The Official Restaurant of FTC Team Duct Tape!
