Re: Sponsor can we morally seek sponsorship from a brewery
It looks like most of this has been covered, but to wrap it all up in one list: - Clear it through your parent organization(s) [school, 4-H, whatever] before going any farther.
- Work with the candidate sponsor to develop a message/plan which does not give the impression of promoting underage drinking. Put this agreement in writing.
- Be open with mentors and other stakeholders BEFORE signing the deal - this is one of those cases where, if a stakeholder has an issue, forgiveness is unlikely. Get permission/buy in.
- Review the materials as they come in and periodically. Have one of your stakeholders who was leery of the deal in on this. You may even want to start doing this with your other sponsors.
- Thank them!
