Team 3572 out of Norton Shores, MI was sponsored by JCPenney. The economy in Michigan has been rough and especially in the Muskegon area. We haven't found a guaranteed long term sponsor, but we have found a number of smaller donations that have us up and running and almost ready to approach the upcoming season. We have taken on the mentality that it doesn't matter how you raise $15,000, we would be happy with one large donation but we are also completely satisfied with 50 donations between $200 and $500. The majority of our sponsors that we anticipated thousands of dollars from have come in at the hundreds of dollars level.

Just keep working at it, the donations are out there you just have to find the company out there that gets what FIRST is all about and then you'll be golden.
