Corporate Sponsorship?

[JudyVandy]

Chuck 84 was originally locally sponsored. We've recently picked up some Dupont Corporate sponsorship, for which we are very grateful. Since we're almost 11 years old, it does testify to the fact that it is possible to survive on local funding.

With that said, it's tough! You have to be very actively seeking funds from your local businesses and recognizing their contributions. We are fortunate in having 3 fairly large manufacturing plants on our area: DuPont, Osram Sylvania, and Craftmaster. In addition there are several smaller operations. Don't forget things like banks and other such institutions. Another good source of funding are organizations such as Lions, Rotary, and Kawanis.

Plus there are the fund raisers you can run. We've done chicken BBQs, yard sales, linen and tool sales (I can give you a vendor for this. It's been our biggest fund raiser in $$.), pizza tickets, Thanksgiving and Christmas pies, and tag days. Get creative.

No contribution is too small! $$ add up!

Good luck with your efforts. Feel free to e-mail or pm me.
