Re: how to write a good proposal and sponsorship letter for a event

It's already been kind of pointed out already, but just to reiterate...

Companies love it when you make connections to their missions, values, etc. If you can find something in one of their documents, on their home page, etc. depicting their values or mission and relate it to something with FIRST, then it's very helpful!

For example, for Johnson Controls (an HVAC company that my dad works for), I connected their slogan "Ingenuity Welcome" to the fact that FIRST inspires and fosters ingenuity. Using supporting information about our team and FIRST, I approached them with that pitch.
