Sponsorship in parochial schools
I don't know about any other private/parochial schools, but 1626 this year encountered an added challenge to being a rookie, getting a major sponsor to back us. We pursued many companies, only to be turned down due to their "company policy" which says that they cannot support something that is religion based.

My question is this:
To all of the other parochial schools in FIRST, do you have a major sponsor, or a bunch of tiny local stores around your school? If you have a major sponsor, how were you able to overcome the religion boundary?

Any advice or tips is greatly appreciated.
