I will make sure that we contact the regional director then and thanks for all of the help everybody.

In from Cupertino, so we it's practically the same place, and let me tell you, there are no shortage o tech companies in the area, and several of them are willing to sponsor local teams. I would reach out to parents of students on the team. You'd be surprised at how many of the parents work at companies that can be potential sponsors for your team.

Also, I'd like to second the suggestion for contacting the regional director. Jim Beck is a really cool guy, and I'm sure he'll have suggestions as well.

Definitely. We had 34 different sponsors this year, and many of them were found through family and friends of team members. Even if it's just $25 for their name on the website, it all adds up.
