more notice. After hearing this i decided to do something I had never done before I decided to fund raise. Now after calling ~112 local and national Technology and Engineering companies I had not a single person who could remotely help us in time. I did not directly reach a decision maker at 6 companies so I left a message and await a callback however I doubt very much that they will collectively provide the 5,000$ required for registration.

So have you learned your lesson about not fundraising year round?
