 Level Up for a Cause

Team DAVE - FRC Team 3683 – is a Robotics Team from St. David CSS in Waterloo whose goal is to prepare high school students for the future, helping build connections and gain valuable life skills. The team participates in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) which is an international program for high school students. 

As KidsAbility has helped so many students, not only on Team DAVE but also within our community, the team is fundraising with a goal to raise $5,000 for the children and youth at KidsAbility.
