Arrow Re: Team 975 is sending out an SOS to the FIRST community

Garret, how many sponsors does your team ask, and do you have any recommendations on which ones would most likely work? Here in the Netherlands, we need an insane amount of fundraising simply to get us to America. We can barely manage to get 6 of us there, and we'd like to be able to take everyone. $34,540 is simply too much for us here. So far, every year we've participated we've somehow scrounged up the money. With the majority of us being seniors, the bare min. of around 13k (sorry we haven't calculated everything yet) for flights/hotels/kit of parts combined, we rarely have enough to go on the economy here and buy the parts we need. Our school is secluded from the locals, so small businesses would be reluctant to fund some foreign team. Team 975, you have it lucky you are in the US and at least have a community that can help more directly.
