nick I was being serious.... we really need the help and guidance. New team home and away jerseys will run us about $3000.

Flash. Why not try some local businesses around you, do some door knocking? Check with local realtors who have signs in your area, car dealerships, food establishments. Most chains are franchises, some may be able to support you in exchange for guaranteed group events.

Flash,

I know EXACTLY where you're coming from. Same deal here for me, and I'm on two teams!

Some ways we found to save us some cash and cover our jersey costs;
- bottles (we've had a team raise 5K this year alone by collecting their own bottles and putting it up on FB, and other social media places).
- We looked at companies that make jersey's who don't normally target our sport as customers.
- We looked at local companies and found joint ventures worked really well; one company to get the uniforms, another to heat-press, stitch on logos/names/numbers.

Can you tell us more about what kind of sport you're talking about? I might be able to point you to some names, people, or places that could help you out.

Hey Lyndsy, (Hope I got it right)
What I do to sponsor and what may work for you is to go to your local watering holes and ask if you can pick up there empties. We give away 200 weekly to sport teams etc . Who ever asks.
Might be worth a try.

Not worth that much IMO.

So bummed, this weekend has not started well. Had a horrible day at work yesterday, ok it happens right. Woke up this morning to find someone had keyed my car. Damage runs front to back and it's gouged. Not sure if it happened last night while we were at a movie or at home. I know it's just a car but I'm so upset. I'm not a jerk driver that takes up 2 stalls, I will park where there are no other cars around.

I feel you're pain, I had the same thing happen when I was in Edmonton visiting some family; my pickup was keyed right down to the metal; leaving scars in it... I was so upset.

Sometimes I feel like I would have beat the person within an inch of their life if I'd had been lucky enough to catch them.
