Ways to Support Argo Armada
To successfully meet our goals, we will need the surrounding community's support. Some of the following are ways to support our team to achieve our goal.
- Donate supplies (High-strength 2-part fast-curing epoxy adhesive, latex gloves, ⅛” plywood)
- Fabricate parts (Machining, Woodworking, etc.)
- Sponsorships
The UWF Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering financially supports our team's goals. Still, we need all the support we can get. Donations are much appreciated and are used to pay for materials and components required for the rockets and various competition-related/certification costs. Additionally, this includes: travel, lodging, and competition fees. The more funding we secure now, the faster we can build these rockets, giving future teams and members a more significant opportunity to compete in the IREC and proudly represent UWF by winning.
Donors who contribute will receive a sponsorship sticker on the rockets we launch on-site and their name and logo on our website. Non-monetary donations will be factored in.
Our team has a GoFundMe page for donations.
We accept non-monetary donations as well – gifts in kind will be factored in as well.
