Did you get any result the last time you asked for money on chiefdelphi: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4032

Do you have any other sponsors besides the school?

I also thought it's too late to register for nationals right now, although if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

registration is closed for prequalification based on the point system and tier system. 61, however, just won the florida regional with 945 and 386 (another congrats to this stellar set of teams), and therefore qualify for nationals.

No we did not get any money when we posted this back in 2002.


This is our 10th year in this competition. to do this year after year took a lot of doing. But the money has been getting less and less every year. That is why I am asking for help.

Mike: I really feel for the situation you're in, as we are in it almost every year, but we usually manage to pull through. We have always had students pay their way to nationals. We simply cannot afford to pay for 20 students, and everything else. This year, we needed to raise $2500 so we could attend two regionals, and nationals. We did this by having every student write ten letters to friends and family. This alone brought in almost $10,000 (We're talking in a 10 day time period) Obviously this won't work at this point, but you might want to think about it in the future.

Also, after this letter writing campaing, we started getting random donations all over the place. In total, we raised over $20,000 since the start of January, which is more than we raised in the last year and a half!
