The students at Cal State Long Beach are moments away from completing a successful crowdfunding campaign to raise money to offset the cost of traveling to motorsports competition.
Read about their crowdfunding campaign here.
Every year, over 100+ schools participate internationally in the Collegiate Design Series competition hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers. Specifically Cal State Long Beach students compete in both FormulaSAE (tarmac) and BajaSAE (off-road) where they are responsible for designing, fabricating, racing, and servicing race cars from scratch each year.
The CSULB team, lead by Eric Camacho and Kyle O'Rourke, have selected Funding Garage to take the journey with them for this fundraising effort, and based on the overwhelming response from the automotive community they will be reaching their fundraising goal with plenty of days left to collect additional contributions from onlookers.
To thank the contributors (people that donate to their campaign), the students are offering rewards such as team decals, hats, shirts, calendars, work gloves, and even a chance to advertise on their cars.
Unique to this campaign is the support CSULB students have received from the Automotive Industry; Meguiar's Car Car Products who donated an Ultimate Car Care Kit, Pirelli Tires who donated tire pressure gauges, and Irwindale Speedway that offered the opportunity for selected contributors to wave a flag and ride in a pace car during a live weekend racing event. You can purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win these items above at this website.
