Remembering Holden Through Lightning Robotics

Holden was a beautiful, bright, 15 year old young man with an entire world in front of him. He had a love for engineering and small animals. Even as a young boy, he was always trying to come up with inventions to make our lives easier. He'd raid his grandfather's garage and pick up various light bulbs, springs, and wires. He built robots, rocket ships to Mars, and even had worked out a way to stop COVID.

As a teen, he spun those interests into robotics, joining his school team - Lightning Robotics. He was truly happy when he was inventing things.

We lost him on December 17, 2024 to a tragic accident. This fundraiser's goal is to donate funds to his team to help them with expenses for future competitions.

At the time of Holden’s passing his team was working hard to replace lost funding which had been provided through corporate sponsorships in the past but has dried up in recent times. Usually they have more than $60,000, which is used for supplies and getting the team to competitions requiring entry fees, travel and lodgings for team members. This year they are far behind, not even at $40,000 so far. Our goal is to help the team for this year and beyond.

Any amount you can contribute is appreciated!

This is an excellent program with 150 kids involved. This program not only teaches them about electronics and robotics but also leadership and team/cooperation skills. Thank you for any help you can give.
