2009 Conference Supporters |
Need for Sponsorship
The only ongoing funding for this conference pays the
coordinator’s salary. All other aspects of the
conference are supported by generous sponsors. Every
year we must raise enough money through grants and
donations to host the event and provide participants an
inspiring program.
This year’s fundraising goal is
$10,000. Your generous support will make a difference to
the teachers and students who participate. Check out the
information below on how you can help.
Please contact Jeremy Solin if you are interested in becoming a 2009 conference sponsor:
