Dear CIC Family, We want to share some wonderful news with everyone who has been cheering James and our robotics team on throughout the season! Team 7890 SeQuEnCe has officially qualified for the FIRST Robotics World Championship in Houston, Texas, happening April 29 – May 2. This is a huge milestone for our small community team — one of only 15 teams from all of North Carolina selected to compete at the world level. James and the team have worked incredibly hard, and we’re so grateful for all the encouragement and support from our church family along the way. If you’d like to help support the team as we prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we’ve set up a fundraising page. Any donation, large or small, would mean a lot and directly help with travel and expenses. Here’s the link: http://bit.ly/4tcN5ME Thank you again for all your prayers, encouragement, and support. It truly means the world to James and the entire SeQuEnCe team! Gratefully, Jim & Laura Penrod (and the whole SeQuEnCe Team 7890) |
