Comment by Adam Karp on January 3, 2012 at 19:12: So could we offer sponsors advertising on our vehicles or something like that? Obviously for larger donations not a box of pencils. I'm thinking of going to some of the betting companies like Party Gaming for example. I know that they give loads to charity but like to put their name all over things when they do donate.

Comment by Adam Karp on January 3, 2012 at 18:27: OK yeah I see what you mean. Much easier to ask for items then money.

I will get started this week

Comment by Alfred Balban on January 3, 2012 at 17:54: Not exactyly Adam,we have no sort of form but we could make one,I have never asked for moneys but maybe school items like pencils notepads etc,this could be bought with any donations anyone makes.There is also the Tshirts we do for the event can also be sponsered and they will show their logo on them,this has been done mostly all the years before,you can see them in our Sponsors photo album

If you have any ideas or anybody else they are all welcomed.

Comment by Adam Karp on January 3, 2012 at 14:36: What exactly will we be using sponsors money for? I want to start asking around but I want to make sure I can answer questions like "what will my money go towards" etc.. Do you have anything like a sponsorship form that we've used on other trips?

Comment by Alfred Balban on January 1, 2012 at 23:55: Ok the countdown is on so if anyone can help us out in trying to get sponsors in any form for the Raid would be gratefully appreciated.
