Something important to add in your packet is why they should want to sponsor a team. Include information about everything FIRST is - more than
just a robot - teamwork, speaking skills, website development, community service, and so on. Remember, they probably have many, many people
come in and ask for money - you need to convince them why FIRST is
the best place for them to spend it. Try to think about it like a business would and highlight those points.

We have a large variety of sponsors; mainly General Motors but here are a few others:

Fast Eddie Racewear (Uniforms)

local doctor

A lot of our sponsors were obtained through networking. Talk to the parents of students and give the students your packages to give to their parents. That is how we obtained many small but helpful sponsors!

Obviously you would need to modify it to suit your team, but it should be a good start...
