One of our favorite sayings is:   

    Tell me, and I will forget.
     Show me, and I may remember.
     Involve me, and I will understand.
                            Confucius, BC 450

Win - Win: We find that a great model to use with companies is by having support in multiple ways - not just monetary support but getting employees involved as volunteers and/or hosting events.  We are always on the lookout for:

• Space for events, meetings, workshops, training, scrimmages
• Volunteers for events and teams
• Monetary support for events and teams
• Equipment donations for events and teams
• Connections to like-minded organizations and people  
• PR / Media / Grant writing help
