Some high school kids in Miami need your help. They want to participate in the Dell-Winston School Solar Car Challenge, a 1,600-mile race from Texas to New York.
They spent a lot of time and effort designing and building their solar-powered car, the Solar Knight. They’re the only Florida team signed up to participate in the challenge.
But they need some gas.
While the solar car does not need any gasoline, their two support vehicles must stop daily to refuel. They are also looking for a truck and minivan — rental or dealership donation — to pull their 20-foot trailer and carry the team members. Add to that room and board for 12 people for 18 days.
To help, e-mail Allan.Phipps@broward schools.com or call 954-817-0110. Learn more about the Solar Knight at www.sphssolarknights.com.
Let’s help this Florida team!
