In October 2007, Success Won’t Wait held its fourth annual book drive during the Duel in the Delaware competition. The event, sponsored by First State Robotics, is part of the FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC) program. The program empowers high school students to engineer industrial-sized robots for large-scale competition. Students work side-by-side with mentors, gaining technical, teamwork, and leadership experience that supports future workforce readiness and careers in STEM fields.

A community service element includes an annual book drive to support Success Won’t Wait and its literacy efforts. In 2007 we collected an amazing 5,000+ lbs. of books which allowed us to complete programs and projects for the rest of the year!

Many thanks to organizer John Larock and all of the teams who participated!
