We live in an area of around 50,000. We do have some large companies like P&G and GE but they haven't been much help. We've found success with local large companies such as Manufacturing Companies. Look for local engineering firms and manufacturing companies. Here's two of our largest sponsors for example http://www.Afco-ind.com and http://redballoxygen.com
