Attention FLL/Jr. FLL Soccer Fans!
DC United has invited FIRST teams to promote our programs in the "Tailgate" lot prior to their game on Oct 18th at RFK. All 4 FIRST Programs are invited to participate. FIRST is being given several video spots on the Big Screen, PSA announcement(s) and we are working to have at least one of our FRC robots kick/throw-in a soccer ball just off the pitch to the referee at the start of the match. For FLL and Jr. FLL, this is a great way for your team to share your experiences with others (which is one of our FLL Core Values).
DC FIRST is working on to get deeply discounted tickets to the game for team members. The price of a ticket is expected to be about $2.00 - 3.00 each for "Team Members" attending with their robot for the Outreach event in the tailgate parking lot prior to the game. Team member status will be determined by a team's FIRST registration listing. These tickets will be given allocated on a first come/first served basis. We are trying to figure out tickets for team members exceeding the allocated $2.00 - 3.00 ticket mentioned above, student non team members, parents and siblings, etc. It is open to all DC, MD and VA FIRST teams. This is a great opportunity to see a United game at a great price.

If you have langauage skills and are willing to help promote FIRST, we would love to have you to participate.
