The GearCats, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and North Carolina registered charity, rely on the support of sponsors and community members to provide life-changing STEM opportunities for students and impactful outreach programs in our community.
Unlike many school programs, the GearCats receive no funding from our school. We independently cover the costs of our off-campus build space, robot parts, tools, equipment, competition fees, transportation, insurance, computers, and educational materials.
Become a sponsor, make an individual donation, or submit a team payment using this link.
You can also support the GearCats fee-free through your bank's Zelle® platform.
Join us in inspiring the next generation of innovators, engineers, and problem-solvers!
