Since our team is from a small, rural area, we do not have a lot of tech businesses to support(sponsor) us. We are not affiliated with a school, so we are not eligible for many grants. Also, since our League has doubled in size this year, our opportunities for business sponsorships have decreased.
Our biggest sponsor is Roseburg Forest Products. They have consistently sponsored our team since we began FTC. This year, they donated $6000 for our robotics season. Olsson Electric has sponsored us with $300 this year. We also received an ORTOP Team Support Award (by Rockwell Collins) for $1000.
As the year progresses, we plan to approach more businesses for sponsorship. So far, we have mailed out approximately 15 sponsor letters to local businesses. We also plan to redeem all of the aluminum cans we have been collecting.
