Annually, the Solar Falcon Race Team works to raise the necessary funds to compete in the Solar Car Challenge. The Solar Car Challenge acts as the driving force for the team. Simply attending this amazing event gives the students participating a sense of joy, accomplishment, and motivation to continue the project for another year. Also, it allows team members to put the car to the ultimate test, creating an opportunity to interact with other teams, learn from their projects, and determine which aspects of the vehicle to improve during the following year. The Solar Falcon Race Team relies heavily on sponsorship to pay for the program. Below, you will find our newly proclaimed sponsorship levels, from both personal and corporate contributions. Regardless of the level, the Solar Falcon Race Team truly appreciates all donations. Be advised that not all aid is monetary. Many current sponsors significantly help the team through donating parts, providing direct instruction, and even assisting with outreach during public events. Your sponsorship or donation goes to, and stays with, the Solar Falcon Race Team.
