Join us for an inspiring, fun-filled evening benefiting Team 1662...

About the Team

Team 1662 is a tiny, but mighty, faith-filled robotics team who has overcome many obstacles to advance to the FIRST Robotics World Competition for 8 of the 12 years our team has competed!  

Each year our faith is tested as we are overcome by the amount of time we don't have (6 weeks to build a robot!) and money we must raise to compete against some of the biggest, most successful and heavily resourced teams in the world. This year is no different - we need your support!

About the Event

Prepare to be inspired, not just well fed! Our main fundraising event of the year is not just a food fest, but an inspiring fun fest! We want you to have a good meal & a good time, but we will also make sure you leave feeling good about your investment in our future STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs.

Doors open at 5 PM ~ Dinner at 6 PM
