Some high school kids in Miami need your help. They want to participate in the Dell-Winston School Solar Car Challenge<\/a>, a 1,600-mile race from Texas to New York.<\/p>\n

They spent a lot of time and effort designing and building their solar-powered car, the Solar Knight. They’re the only Florida team signed up to participate in the challenge.<\/p>\n

But they need some gas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the solar car does not need any gasoline, their two support vehicles must stop daily to refuel. They are also looking for a truck and minivan — rental or dealership donation — to pull their 20-foot trailer and carry the team members. Add to that room and board for 12 people for 18 days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To help, e-mail Allan.Phipps@broward schools.com or call 954-817-0110. Learn more about the Solar Knight at www.sphssolarknights.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let’s help this Florida team!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
