TRHS Tournament Underwriter

There is one thing that we need desperately for our tournament this year. We have been trying to think of some companies to help underwrite our tournament who do not already donate to the Roosevelt Foundation. Harry and I have previously spoken of companies that parents of students in the program work. We have parents who work for some pretty impressive companies such as Architecture, Pioneer Seed and Apple, Inc. The details for the tournament are available if desired but with needs to pay for awards, judging, and other miscellaneous expenses last year ran us around $1,500-$1,700. Tournaments are generally the largest fundraiser of the year for debate teams...and a vast majority of the money made from our tournament last year went to just pay for what was needed. Any assistance in this area would be appreciated.
