[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 34669, member: 1991"] Another thought out of left field - what about approaching businesses for a sponsorship? Especially if you could find a business that is likely to be relevant in some way (can't think right now). A rough example - some toy companies specialise in educational toys and would value some publicity for creating and donating toys for blind or deaf children. Similarly, they may be prepared to sponsor someone who will be training to work with deaf children, in exchange for you giving their product a plug. Think of the sort of companies that provide tools and equipment useful to deaf people - electronics companies, for example, who make flashing lights to hook up to the phone or the door bell. Companies that make printers or other gadgets that help a profoundly deaf person manage a phone call. Companies whose main catch cry is 'communication' - you could arrange a scholarship/sponsorship in exchange for some favourable publicity for them. You would have a better idea which companies to approach. But if you get SOME money (but not enough) from one company, go to another company and say, "So-and-so donated x amount - will you match it?" And always have something for them in return - good publicity is always welcome. Marg [/QUOTE]
