Maybe Christina can add what she knows to this - we didn't want to say anything unofficially, but since the cat's out of the bag, I'll share what I know.
We are having a ton of trouble scrounging up money for this thing, and it's really stressing Mr. Breithut out. He's been contacting every team on the Island, trying to dig up sponsorship where ever he can find it.
Long Island doesn't have the benefit of some of the larger corporations that sponsor FIRST, like Motorola, or NASA, or General Motors. So, because of that, we all have to work a little harder at fund raising.
I don't know if I'd say things are 'in jeopardy,' but money is real concern right now. Of course, while I don't agree it's underhanded, I think Mr. Breithut went to Newsday as a way of attracting attention to SBPLI and the regional.
