I think it might be a nice gesture to incorporate our sponsers into our gift..but which sponsers? team ones...general FIRST ones? My point was to make it personalized for Dean or even the FIRST community in general. Because most of the time, the corporate sponsers, like Disney, have little or nothing to do w/ the mentoring and teaching and engineering aspect that FIRST is trying to get across to the students.

In my team's case, Nypro does almost everything for our team, and is a big factor in sponsering as well as mentoring our team. But I think the sponsers you are talking about probably aren't involved on the student level. We still need their $ and participation in whatever way they want to give it..but I think any type of gift should be for Dean or actual FIRST people who would probably appreciate it more and realize the affect of their hard work more than a company just giving money and having no personal affiliation with actual teams. Therefore, it may be hard to incorporate them into the gift, depending on what the gift would be.
