Giving Tuesday Update
Only 30 days left before the close of our campaign!
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported UC Irvine CanSat so far! Because of your generosity, we’ve already raised $1,250 toward our $5,000 goal! With 10 donors contributing, we’re officially at 25% funded. Every gift has brought us closer to building this year’s satellite prototype and competing on the international stage.
Our team has a strong legacy of excellence in the International CanSat Competition. Over the past two years, we have proudly finished 9th in the World & 3rd in the United States (2025) and 4th in the World & 2nd in the United States (2024). Your support ensures we can continue this tradition of excellence.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to our early donors for believing in our work. As we approach Giving Tuesday, we ask you to please consider sharing our ZotFunder campaign with your network to help us reach even more supporters!
Thank you for being part of our journey and amplifying our mission in ways we truly cannot do alone.
