Congratulations on making a rather dramatic turnaround after Kansas City. I didn't see it coming and you guys were awesome at both events.
You'll have a lot easier time getting sponsors if you bring your big shiny Winner and Finalist trophies with you. Corporations love winning more than they probably should, so showing off the bling should help a lot.
Another thing to note: Maybe you don't need $12,000. Can your teammates pay their own way to the Championship and pay for their own hotel rooms? Then you'll only need $6000 or so.
