Re: Sponsor can we morally seek sponsorship from a brewery

This would be my thought process:

STEP 1: Does your youth organization have something to say about it?
STEP 2: Is the brewery okay with a non-beer corporate name or one of the soda brands as the sponsor?
STEP 3: If the answers are no and yes respectively, accept it and send a thank you card.

A team about 20 minutes from where I lived in South Carolina got sponsored by FN Manufacturing--the company that makes military-issue assault rifles.
