In addition to Tim's suggestion on calling larger companies and setting up demonstrations...
Depending on location, you would be better off asking smaller local business for assistance. If small groups of students can go around the community with sponsor packets and letters, you might yield a better response from your businesses. Ask for small donations or whatever the business thinks it can afford, they add up quickly. Also, take business cards to make sure the business logo is placed properly on shirts/banners/websites.
Good luck!
