Re: Need Advice on approaching big corps. about money

If you need money this instant this probably is not the way, but we have found one of the biggest sources of contacts within companies is the parents of the students that we mentor....everyone knows somebody who knows somebody....all it takes is getting your foot in the door @ large companies and that is half the battle imho...

I would really consider that you all organize parent meetings (where you can explain and sell the idea and explain how important this is), and better yet a parent booster club like the one we are working on....I know we have found contacts within 30+ new large companies.....most of the contacts are personal contacts of parents of students on the team....

good luck I hope you all make it to nationals it is quite an experience....
