Our former local Catholic high school team was sponsored by an Israeli company for 15+ years.

Also, I'm curious how an energy drink company can purport to promote Catholic values.
The company doesnt necessarily need to promote Catholic values, they just can't be openly against them.

So...companies like Apple, Google, Starbucks, Microsoft, IBM, Boeing, and such?

I would approach your school about lightening yup on this restriction if it means your program can succeed. You aren't running Model UN or a men's quartet. You are trying to grow a costly, but very rewarding program that has obvious positive effects on people within and outside of your organization.

Besides, if the company is willing to support a private, religious school, they indirectly support those values... right?
I'm not sure about NASA. They provide benefits to same-sex partners which could be seen as openly opposing "Catholic values."
