I just heard the disturbing rumor that Visteon will only be handing out $50,000 to the 6 teams ($8333 a piece). This is a severe cut back from the $30,000 we recieved last year.
I'm sorry to hear about the possible reduced sponsorship from Visteon.

We have a few large corporations in our area, but how well do people respond to "Will you give us $22,000?"
I would think that it might be easier to get $10,000 from two different sponsors than it is to get $20,000 from one sponsor. My team has never had a sponsor give us more than $6,000 in a year. My team is out asking for $5,000 sponsorships from larger companies in our area, but we're also going to local pizza places trying to get them to give us free food in return for us putting their logo on our stuff (it worked last year). I'm not quite sure if this is useful advice, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
