Outside of putting their names on our tee-shirts, we out their company on our team banner each season (see our
Cover Photo on FB). We also give each sponsor a 12x9 framed picture with a thank you for being a sponsor message.
Throughout the year, we put out a Newsletter that we send to each of the sponsors, Mentors, parents, etc. During the build and competition season, this is a weekly occurrence - the off-season it goes to a once a month publication.
For our bigger sponsors, we try to get out to their location and do a variation of our Chairman's Award. When we do this, we take between 3-8 of our experienced mentors. The presentation is part CA - and then about 10-20 minutes of Q&A with showing off the robots from the current and past seasons.
At our awards banquet, we have three awards we hold in high-esteem - the Volunteer/Organization of the Year, Mentor of the Year, and Sponsor of the year. These are plaques that we have made up by
All Star Trophy and Awards.
Just remember to do some sort of thank you, no matter how big or small - they will appreciate it!
