Also remember that building relationships with business take time, so after you land that sponsor for next year, keep working to add more so you don't end up in this situation again.

Finally, find yourself a Boeing mentor, then have that mentor apply for the Boeing grant next year. Boeing has been VERY generous with sponsoring teams over the last couple of years, but you have to find a Boeing mentor.
I would have to agree with Richard about finding a BOEING mentor (P.s Thanks Richard for helping us with ours ). BOEING has given 1323 about $11,000 bucks in this tough economy in the past 2 years.

BOEING has also been very supportive and we love their mentor support.
