What companies/businesses are willing to sponsor PLEASE AS MANY ANSWERS AS POSSIBLE?

[Damian]

Hello and thank you for taking your time reading my question

I am currently participating in an F1 in schools competition and we recently won the regional finals for north west also taking home the fastest car award but now we are on our way to national finals on 16th March 2013 and we are in need of some sponsors as the competition gets more competitive and costly, there is no limit on how many sponsors we can have, in fact the more the better so I don't mind on who sponsors us just as long as we get them, please comment below on any places you feel would be willing I have been looking for a while (Over 3 months) and my ideas are running dry but please state anything that seems possible thank you.

Try and find relevant companies - ones that identify with your school or with motorsport, or your area. Try local business as well - you better off with one enthusiast in small company than endless time negotiating with a large companies HR or Mkt department's. Do an open letter to all parents - some must be connected to business and can open doors for you.Try charities or innovative companies that might jointly benefit from the positive PR.

Make sure you have good justification and a sound business case and why sponsoring you will bring benefits to their business/organisation
