Broke
Team 1257, Parallel Universe, is practically broke. Last year, we got by with almost no money, but this year our one and only mentor (the school will only pay one teacher per club) is feeling discouraged for some reason, and doesn't want to proceed unless we can collect around $5,000 on top of the $5,000 that we presently have. She wants to leave First and do the Vex competition. Most of the club feels that this would be a serious step backwards, and I would be heartbroken if it actually happened. I'm a programmer, not a fundraiser, so I have no idea how to collect funds (I already tried my parents' employers). Well-funded teams of the Universe, I ask you: What is your secret? We don't need to be rich. Most of us were okay with being penniless, but our mentor isn't, and if we don't get some money fast, 1257 is no more. I welcome any advice you can offer.
**For the record, I'm not blaming our mentor. Being the only mentor for an FRC team isn't easy.
