The recommendation that I always tell teams is decide early on (aug or sept) if you think you want to go, regardless if you have qualified yet and start raising funds for it. If you do make it your budget is set, if you don't make it then most of your fundraising is done for next year.
I know that your whole team really wants to go, but just because you wind doesn't mean you are REQUIRED to go, Good Luck in whatever you choose to do...... $.02
