Re: Who Approached who?
Actually, ours is an odd story. My mom had tried to get a team started before I was even a high school student, but she couldn't find an advisor that was interested. So my senior year, when I heard my friend Erik talking about it, things really got started. He, his father (Wayne C.), and his friend went around to all the teachers and finally found an advisor. Our team was started just as a normal club, and we had no idea if anyone would have $5000 for the entrance fee.
Finally, after thousands of company visits and a lot of phone calls, Bristol-Myers Squibb called my house. They were actually returning a call my mother made, letting us know they had secured us the money we needed. And hence, 1089 was born.
