2025 Ranken Technical College
Ranken Rat Rod Build 2.0 Fundraising
You can have a direct impact on our 2025 Ranken build by sponsoring or donating to one or more of our key fundraising areas.
Ranken is an established partner; and sponsors most of this build by providing a motor, transmission, various incidental parts and supplies, the space to create, the students to participate and the housing for our volunteers.
Meals & Refreshments
Saturday night through Friday night, 7 days, 3 meals a day for up to 20 adult volunteers.
Our hard working volunteer/mentors need to be kept fed and refreshed so they can give their best during a school build.
Consider sponsoring a whole day (breakfast, lunch and dinner) or a meal. Some nights they go out for dinner but a lot of evenings they bring food in from local establishments to keep the work moving forward after a quick dinner break. Your help is essential in keeping the crew healthy and strong.
Auto Parts - Gift Cards
Oil, Wires, Bolts, Fluids, Battery, etc.
We need all kinds of extra parts when building a Rat Rod in one week. As much as you try to plan ahead there are always challenges and opportunities that come up and we need someone to run to the local auto parts store. Advanced Auto Parts is the closest auto parts store to Ranken and money donated for this key fundraising area will be used to purchase gift cards from there for the 2025 Ranken Tech build.
Auto Parts - Brake System
Auto Parts - Gas Tank & Line
Nothing specific here just a gas tank and gas line.
Auto Parts - Wheels
We need wheels! Five lug GM wheels. Stock Rally wheels would be wonderful.
