Brazilian team won't participate next year...

My team is facing the same problem this year.

The last two years, we've attended the Minnesota Regional (its first year, and last year the 10,000 Lakes Regional). The University of Minnesota (where the regional's held) had funded us both years.
This year they cut us off.

We've (coincidentally?) also only managed to raise about $3000 so far.

However, like what Mr Pockets said, that is really sad that your team is unable to participate this year. Based on your team number, I'd guess this would have been your team's third or fourth season.

Hopefully you can take part next year!

Hi, this is Keehun from Eden Prairie, MN. I'm so sorry to hear that Brainerd doesn't have funding this season... For us, we didn't have a primary sponsor our second year (Best Buy gave us a boatload of money first year, and then had to drop us second year), which naturally got us to scramble for funding for the second time (our second season funding was also a last minute scramble).

With that said, we got really fortunate and actually raised more money than the bucket load of money that Best Buy gave to us the first year.. NASA grant really helped us out..

Brainerd, if you guys need any sort of help, let me know!

Thanks,
Keehun
