Interesting fund-raising idea

I spent a half hour or so with Jeff Boyd (coach of last year's national champ team) and Claudia Allums (Neal Wu's coach). They both had a lot of neat things they do for their team; I'll try to remember them all later. For now, I'll pass on a couple interesting fund-raising tidbits that Jeff uses:
1) Go after real estate companies. They put their name on your shirts, give you a little pile of money, and in return, when you win, you advertise to everyone what school district to move into (which in turn raises real estate prices, which in turn raises realators paychecks).
2) Jeff lets his kids keep their trophies for a few days, then they have to return them to the school until the year-end banquet. Then, he invites his sponsors and prospective sponsors to the banquet, where they see a wall of 1000 trophies staring at them.
