Re: Broke

Spread your net wide and look for community sponsorship. There are many local companies that are willing to support local organizations. Put together a good handout that explains who your team is, what it does, and how their company can support. Be professional and persistent when you speak with companies.

Also, look for ways to be visible in the community. Demonstrations are an excellent way to build visibility and may bring your team into contact with potential sponsors. The demonstrations do not even have to be particularly STEM related. 234 recently had a demonstration at a health fair.

Stay positive and hopefully there will be many more years of 1257!
