Who are your sponsors?

Motorola all the way.

And also, for the raffle at the end of th year we get alot of donations from many different places in the Chicago area. That doesnt count as a sponsor but they do support us.

Along with what Jason said, our team also has 74 proud grandmas-yep, we have every member on our team have their grandma give a five or ten dollar sponsorship. Their name gets on our sponsorship poster and goes everywhere we do, and they have their own page on our website. Over the summer, our team also does many car washes to help our team. Hope that helps!

Somehow I know someone is going to correct me someway, but for now I am going to list the current sponsors team 581 has are(That I remember):

- BAE Systems http://www.na.baesystems.com/
- Bullard http://www.bullard.com/
- The House Foundation
- San Jose High Academy http://sjha.ca.campusgrid.net/home

I know sometime in the past we had:

- Compaq
- San Jose State University
- 21st Century Learning
- Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
- San Jose Unified School District
- United Defense, LP (Now part of BAE Systems)

There was a construction company that funded us partially last year, but I can't remember their name, and for that I am sorry.

And of course, like almost all teams, we were funded by NASA for A few years.

One of the pages of the packet was going to give examples of companies that sponsor teams. Perhaps if a company like a doctor's office sees that other doctors offices sponsor teams, they'd be more likely to sponsor us.

I'm especially intersted in colleges, doctors offices, hospitals, etc. But please list any sponsors you have.

It'd help a lot.

Unfortunately, our school district doesn't really like the word "sponsor", so we have had to go through a long process of attempting to get a system that we can receive donations through, so our school and district has completely funded our operation this year

Team 433 (aka The Firebirds) is mainly sponsered by McNiell
However, I do believe that we have several other smaller sponsers...but I'm not exactly sure who they are yet, I'll post them when I find out.

[qhsscience]

Our sponsor since 1998 has been The Gillette Company (Gillette). It has been a privilege to work with the professionals from that company. If there are any large corporations near you, don't be afraid to ask...the worst they can say is "no."

[Martinez]

Chuck is mainly sponsored by Dupont, Penelec, Osram Sylvania, Citizens and Northern Bank, along with many many others. Feel free to pilage any info you need from my Lockheed Martin Proposal and good luck!

First and foremost, Bristol Myers Squibb, without whom we'd never have gotten as far as we have.

Time Warner
Royal Hawaiian Creations (where we get these b-e-a-utiful Hawaiian shirts from
Local Electrical Workers Union

If it helps, you should also differentiate between a "sponsor" and a "patron". The act of sponsorship implies much more of an ownership and active participation in the team, whereas a patron may be more passive and only doing a financila contribution.

So, most teams have a "sponsor" that supplies not only funding, but also supplies the mentors. Yes, you can and should get lots of "patrons" to provide donations for some sort of recognition (patron book listing, name on your shirt/robot, etc)

Our team, 1511 Rolling Thunder is "sponsored" by Harris Corporation's RF Communications Division in Rochester, NY. But we also have many "patrons" that provide funding and all of that was student-driven as part of the annual team participation requirements.

yes, every parent has connections into one or more local businesses that is a ripe pool of patron possibilities....
