WWU's X-Prize Team is holding a fundraiser next Tuesday to help defray a shortfall associated with its entry into the Progressive Automotive X-Prize Competition. Going back and forth from Detroit for each successive round costs real money! The VRI's entry is one of only 12 teams left in the competition, down from more than 140 teams at its start. Can you help with these costs?

Donations can be made online at: https://www.applyweb.com/public/contribute?wfwwu

Under 'Please designate my gift to the following,' donors can check “for the following college, department, team or program.” Enter “VRI X-Prize” in the free-write field, and the Foundation will make sure the gift gets to the X-Prize program.

Checks can be mailed to:

WWU Foundation

516 High Street MS 9034

Bellingham WA 98225

Memo on check should state ‘VRI X-prize;’ checks made payable to ‘WWU Foundation.’
