Re: Team #3020 Needs your help more than ever!

Thanks for all of the ideas everyone! I sent an email to the OC Register of southern California, since they already had an article for us during build week, so hopefully they can do a 'follow up' or results page, expressing our need for money to get to Atlanta.

Our school is a private school, so there is no district who will get us money. Our supporting teachers who have gotten a room for us to work in everyday talked to our principle, and he was the one who said the school can't support the $5,000 dollars......even though we are spending millions on new buildings.

Right now, we just want to get the $5,000. The airfare, lodging, and food, in our eyes, should be payed by the students if they want to go. If we can get more money for that stuff, then awesome, but we just want to be able to compete at this point.

I tried looking for an email for JPL and WDI, but I couldn't find any. If anyone has any contact information for possible sponsors, that would be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to PM me!

Thanks,
Sean, 3020
