It's just my .02 but there's nothing that pisses me off more than when someone wants something from my business but can't take the time to see me in person about it.

Thanks for the advice! I had planned on going door to door and speaking to each person, thought about drafting a letter as well incase the person at the business was not a person that could make that kind of decision, and so it would look more official than some guy walking around asking for money. I will definately bring a picture along and provide a link to our website that will have the sponsors logo listed on there as well.
When people ask you to sponsor them, what kinds of deals do they ask for? Is it a specific amount, levels of sponsorships, or just anything at all?
