When the rubber meets the road, our Partners and Sponsors are what really make Team 1629 possible. Partners contribute MAJOR time (mentors and support), and or MAJOR resources (material, money). Sponsors are as important by contributing significant money. Without our Partners and Sponsors, Team 1629 could not function, operate, or exist. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
