I want to stress the point below in particular for all fundraising sources. It is crucial to hold on to your sponsors, even the ones that give you that $100 check from year to year. Send them your newsletter, invitations to your open house, or send a student to drop by and say hello. If a company invites your team to a dinner or an event, make sure a student or two is available to represent the team.
Though it seems like it's extra effort, constant vigilance can maintain your sponsorship year to year! Good luck!
