Re: Our last hope...
You are not alone. So far we have asked the school for the $5,000 entry fee back in may. That was before we found out the entree fee this year rose to $6,000. At the moment we now have $5,200 and scrambling to top off the rest of that amount before Dec. 3. I'll be going door to door businesses this week most likely. Having an inactive year is not an option. The problem with this time period to get this much money is that you can only do so many normal fundraisers (car wash, candy, etc), and really cant do any big company sponsorship because they won't be able to get back in that amount of time. Same with grants, hardly any that you'll have the money in by December 3. I am determined and confident that my school will have a team this year. This is where we just have to rely on the small businesses in the communities around us to help us through.
Good Luck!
