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.
Don't just ask tech and engineering companies. In 2001, at my first time at nationals when I was 15, I saw a team that had a full list of company names down the back of their shirt, there were at least 20 of them, small local business helping the local team out. Even Linda's Lingerie Shop was a donor.

If fundraising is something you haven't done before, try to find someone who has. I've met very few people that are naturally good at fundraising, you could likely improve your pitch and results. You can also find a lot of resources about fundraising here: http://www.firstnemo.org/resources.htm

Good luck.
