Small-Slow Team, Small Community and a New Leader

[theNerd]

Hey everyone! I'm sure this has been a common problem in the past years so I'm sure I'll get some great answers -as usual . First I have taken the role as team captain this year for our team this year. I helped start our team 2 years ago and have been the programming team ever since - as well as designer and electronics dude! Our community is really small and sadly the football team is mostly the public spot light here. My goal as I leave the team on my final year is to have our team growing. However I have run into some obsticals. First, funding and advertising. As the community is really small we have had a hard time getting funding and sponsorship from other corporations. Does anyone have any past experience they could offer - how their team formed a solid sponsorships and budget?
