Re: Sponsorship!!!

Try This:

1. Find a large corporation in your area (within driving distance).

2. Call them and ask for their "corporate giving" manager. <If you get nowhere, try another company>

3. When you get them on the phone, ask if they would consider meeting with a few team members and mentors to help you understand how to approach OTHER companies for sponsorships. Make it clear that you are NOT asking for money, just advice.
4. Them USE that advice to go out and get sponsorships!

With a few dedicated students and mentors, this can work like a charm.
