Team Blasts and Upcoming Dates

If email delivery and open rates drop too low, automated or bulk emails can be marked as spam or just not delivered. To help avoid this, FIRST^® routinely cleans up our email distribution lists to make sure that emails reach intended receivers. Over the past few months, that meant that teams who had not marked that they intended to participate this year were removed from the Team Blasts. Lead Coaches can be readded to continue receiving the blasts by going to the FIRST Dashboard and marking your team as intending to return.

As a reminder, anyone over the age of 18 can opt-in to receive the Team Blasts for any FIRST program by completing the form on this subscription page. You can also subscribe to other types of emails by following the instructions in this blog post from last year.

In case you missed it in Team Blasts, here are some upcoming (and one past) important dates. (All items open/close at 12:00 pm (Noon) eastern time unless otherwise specified.)

Dates for Regional and District Events are regularly being added to the Event Search page on the FIRST website and on the frc-events web page, so check back often for events in your area! Both pages will also have links to register to volunteer for the events once volunteer registration opens later this year.
