It seems that with the new qualification system this year, this is probably something many teams are experiencing, and rather than taking loads of money from all the students, it would be nice if we could try to raise some money before we go to Atlanta. Since fundraising is something we have historically been able to plan months in advance, we're in a real crunch for ideas for some "fast cash." If anyone has good ideas for how we can raise some money in the next two weeks, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

We also called our sponsors back and told them the situation....suffice it to say we already have the registration fee covered and our travel plans are being finished as we speak...
oh we also got a hold of the media so far we have been on TV once, and have had 2 newspaper articles done on us....it always helps to get the media exposure (especially us being in Tampa, it is a huge city and mass comm is a much more effecient way of communicating)
