I still don't see how teams have enough money to attend two or three regionals and the championships. Does anyone have any of those $50,000 sponsors they aren't using?

Same here, I wonder where this comes in to play with teams!

Re: Where is your team going? (2006)
 

Corporate sponsors are great to have(and we are thankful for them), but they aren't the only way teams raise money to register for events. A lot of teams work hard to put together fundraisers and raise the money the old fashioned way. Relying on corporate sponsors to pay for everything isn't always the right way to approach this question. The way to approach it is like this, what can OUR TEAM do to fundraise the money for additional events? I guarantee you that the teams who do go to multiple events put in a lot of hard work to get there. I am not lecturing or scolding, that is not my intent. I am just trying to make a point. If I seem like I am coming off harshly, I apologize. I am only trying to say that maybe you could look beyond corporate sponsors and try some team fundraisers, you would be surprised how much money you could raise. :) Twas' just a thought...

GO 1403!!!

A lot of our funds come from local companies - a few hundred dollars of donation, even $50, add up. Also, these local companies are VERY interested in groups from the area to promote them, because they know your shirts will be worn to community events to advertise them, and that the people seeing those shirts can contribute business. Try them before you give up on money!

Re: Where is your team going? (2006)
 

Eugenia's right we have a few local sponsors but not many so we are only doing one this yeah I think not sure yet but we'll See later
