While it is hard enough to raise money it's not going to get any easier because you're going to Nationals, save for some sponsors different mindsets. My team isn't sure if we going to the Championship but we're planning fundraisers to do whether or not we make it. Money can't hurt and if your team isn't motivated to do work no matter the competition you might want to evaluate how things are done I'm not saying you have to go out and get every available cent, but there is no reason to sit around doing nothing after you raise necessary funds. Now if you don't have time to raise money after making registration that's fine, but then don't complain about not having enough time after qualification to raise money.
