jcp Sponsors 500 FIRST
Robotics Teams

As part of our ongoing dedication to empowering youth during the after school hours, we’ve formed a partnership with FIRST, a non-profit group whose mission is to inspire kids to be science and technology leaders. jcpenney is proud to sponsor 500 high school robotics teams nationwide as they compete in fast-paced, high-energy, “March Madness” style robotics competitions.

jcpenney plans to sponsor a FIRST team in every jcpenney community by providing the sponsorship needed to establish rookie teams and increase participation among minority and female students. By working together to support these FIRST teams, we’ll have a significant impact on thousands of students’ education and career choices and hopefully inspire a new generation leading the world’s innovation.
