This event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors

The FIRST Core Values are fundamental to FIRST and unique to its programs. They emphasize friendly sportsmanship, respect for others’ contributions,teamwork, learning, and community involvement and are part of our commitment to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of unity.

GEARS, a member of FIRST, has adopted these Core Values as a teaching foundation for their youth robotics programs. 100% of the sponsorship funds are used to help the development of the school-aged participants. The Michiana Premier Event is organized and executed completely by volunteers who believe in these Core Values and the enrichment that they provide. Our donation tiers reinforce these FIRST Core Values.
