Most of the big Corporations like Garmin and Cerner fund the regional instead of local teams. I know in some areas of the country, they have companies that open their shops and wallets for a certain team. I don't think we have any teams with major sponsorships like that from BIG companies. But we have about 30-40 teams in the KC area and we are all hitting the same companies for money.

Sounds similar to many Hawaii teams with our State funded, Act 111 funding.
When the funds run out, I hope they have a sustainability plan brewing.
