\"Draft<\/a>Since I am planning to ask for a Sponsor<\/a>, it makes sense that I take a stab at a budget.<\/p>\n

As you can see from my initial estimates, it will be about a $20K project. Of course most budgets turn out to be woefully inadequate so I should probably double everything, right?<\/p>\n

In case you have trouble reading the scanned image from my notebook, the Budget Items Include:
\nRace Fees, Bike upgrade, Screen Printing & Bike decals (for sponsors), Swim training location, Transportation, Hotels, Performance Food & Supplements, Running Shoes, Food & Misc. (Race\/trips), Paper\/pins for Cranes, Planning Calendar, Support team at races.<\/p>\n

Other items I thought of since I scanned that page include: Video crew (so I can document it and possibly use it for marketing TheWishBuilder.com), Upgraded clothing (since wetsuits might not be allowed at Kona and I may need something different from what I have) and a new hydration system (for the bike).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/h2>\n

What am I missing? \u00a0Should there be more activities \/ events \/ budget items related to, and for the benefit of, sponsors?<\/p>\n

Speaking of sponsors, is the budget itemized sufficiently<\/span> that a company can look at the listing and choose to sponsor a particular part of the project? \u00a0What can I do to entice sponsors to support the full project?<\/p>\n

Budget \/ Sponsor Ideas?<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

Obviously I don’t have all the answers and I would welcome anyone who has experience signing up sponsors for individuals or events or even charity fundraising. \u00a0Any ideas you have to improve this budget<\/strong> or gain sponsors <\/a>would be appreciated. \u00a0Leave you comments below !<\/p>\n
