Craziest sponsor you have

[Eisner664]

Hey Guys,
I was curious, I am the PR rep for my team, whats the craziest sponsor you have?

[Rohith Surampudi]

this may be a dumb question, but crazy in what context?

[Billfred]

Well, one of ours is Carolina Culinary Foods. They prepare chicken and beef and other such items for restaurants. A little odd at first glance, but all that machinery requires an engineer or two on the payroll.

(Getting a smidge crazier might require a trip to the past: Hooters donated a wings party for 10 to our auction our rookie year.)

[Eisner664]

I mean like non technological companies

[Dorienne]

Best I can think of for us is Sweetheart Cups, who gives us silverware and plates for our dinners.

[MARK]

I forget whether we (MOE) still have them as a sponsor this year, but for a while, we had a funeral home partially sponsoring us.

And I think that's pretty crazy.

[Hexagram]

We're going for supercrazy next year. We're gonna try and get this company "Fuchs Lubericant" To sponser us, for the sole purpose of saying Fuchs.

[lukevanoort]

I don't know if they are sponsoring us this year, but last year we had a company named PHE. They are an adult toy company.

"snowbear frozen custard" mmmm.......tasty

We get to combine both of these - Chipotle's and Adams-Green Funeral Home are both co-sponsors of Team 116 this year (along with NASA, SAIC, Dominos Pizza, and - gulp, I have to admit it - Dunkin' Donuts).

one of the contributers that we (103) has is a local rug store.

[Nuttyman54]

we've got a law office sponsoring us. It's not WAY out there, but it's our "crazy" sponsor

[omutton]

We have a local funeral home as well as a dentist and a doctor.

We've had some odd sponsors-

Merrilee the Clown - oddly a past team parent (whole family of clowns!)- no jokes please!

and

Royal Hawaiian Creations (www.gorhc.com) - our perennial source of aloha shirts. They have never met us but apparently they hang pictures of our team in their office every year. They even watch the competition on the internet to see how we do!
