Sponsorship Information

Who are we?

Team 5940 BREAD is a student-run, FRC Robotics team based on Design Tech High School campus in Redwood City, California. This upcoming 2024 season will be our ninth season competing.

For last year’s game, Charged Up, our team spent 9 weeks building a robot named Pain d’Epi. We took Pain d’Epi to two regionals, Central Valley Regional (CVR) and Monterey Bay Regional (MBR) where we won the Industrial Design and the Excellence in Engineering Awards. At CVR, we tried our robot against other teams for the first time and made it to the playoffs. We spent the next two weeks updating and fixing Pain d’epi for MBR where we won the competition with an almost perfect record, qualifying us to compete in the world championship. At the 2023 FIRST Championship, among the top teams from around the globe, we ranked first in our division and won the Creativity award for our unique robot design. We ended the season ranked 4th in the world out of over 3,000 teams.

Our Mission

Our mission is to spark youth interest in STEM within our community and empower students to become innovative problem solvers by developing leadership and technical skills.

Why Sponsor Us?

Unlike other teams, we do not require membership fees, and we cannot accept family donations or donations from individual people. As a student-operated team running a high-budget program, we rely solely on corporate sponsorships to continue our work.

Your donations will go back to our community, from supporting our outreach efforts for our community around our school, to teaching the members of our team and giving them opportunity to discover and explore what they are interested in. When you support our outreach initiative, we are able to host events such as free STEM workshops for kids ages 5-13 and also participate in community events such as the San Mateo County Fair.

When you sponsor our team, you will also receive a variety of benefits including appearing on our website, being broadcast live at multiple competitions, and having your brand promoted and advertised to thousands at various competitions and tech conventions. In addition to this, all your donations will be tax-deductible because our team is a non-profit organization.
