Team #3020 Needs your help more than ever!

[FIRSTgirl675]

Try asking friends and family for smaller donations. This year, my team (675) lost all of our sponsors. My father and I went out and asked close friends and family for smaller donations of $100 (some were a lot more than that), and they so far have totaled over $6,400!!!!! It has done a lot for our team, and I'm sure that if you make each person on your team go out and collect a few hundred each you can make enough money to send you to Georgia.

Good luck in your fundraising efforts!

Seriously, check your Private Messages on ChiefDelphi and reply to the PM I sent you. I would like to help you out, but if I don't know how to donate, I won't be able to help.

Would it be possible for you to email me your contact's name at Boeing? We're also sponsored by Boeing in Richardson and we're having some difficulty getting additonal funds for nationals. Perhaps we could put our contact in touch with your contact to help us get some traction on this...
