Re: Corporate fundraising

When we go to corporations to fundraise, I think that something valuable to your request would be if the corporation has seen your robot compete. Barring that, arrange for a demonstration day. We also have a short video presentation to accompany our robot.
After you recieve a donation, remember to continue to invite your sponsors to your events, or to your shop to see the robot. It's sometimes difficult to catch a sponsors attention, but once you've introduced them to the program and your team, they'll be, hopefully, hooked.
Our team actually produced a DVD/CD, titled "Team In A Box", that addresses different aspects of any team, including fundraising. To request a copy, please visit my team site. On that note, if anyone feels that they have a unique, innovative or out-of-the-box fundraising strategy for situations such as this, please contact my team or myself (PM me, or visit www.team341.com). We're always looking to expand the breadth of what we cover in our DVD.
Hope this helped!

Mike
