I feel like we are hitting brick walls. Sent a few emails. Getting not the slightest responses, not even to say no.
Last year we mailed many letters....and got nothing.
Any ideas? What have you guys done?

In my city we have clubs like Lions club..Kiwanis club..etc who are none profit orgs and help out the public in the community. They sponsor so many teams or individuals each year. Not sure if where u are have those organizations..but check it out. In my experience..emails and letters don't attract anyone..they can't get a feel for your persoanlity..esspecially in our sport. Go to the local sports bars..small companieswho do well but you know would invite more publicity thru your media..
With your proposal letter for sponsor put a short bio on a seperate paper with a picture.

I don't leave home esspecially crossing that boarder and trying to tell those guys I armwrestle.. Thats my saving grace and making it a lot easier for me. That trading card also got me a $2500. sponsorship in about 5 mins..  |

Though I have not tried yet, I have been told for years that Comcast, or your local Cable companies love non-profit organizations. They put aside a bunch of monies for local organizations, it looks good on paper fpr them! Give them a try, what do you have to lose?

Ryan, Red Bull isn't healthy for you. Shouldn't that be against a religion too? |
