A big shout out to the teachers and chaperones that worked with us and their students to prepare for the event.  Thanks to our awesome sponsors, we were not only able to award prizes directly to students, but we were also able to make donations to the schools and programs they represent.

Thanks to our local sponsors for making this year such a success!  Check out the link below if you are interested in being a sponsor for next year's event.
