Sponsorships
Since Sound Advertising Minds is a non-profit student
organization, our funds and resources are extremely limited. We
participate in several competitions and workshops throughout the year and we
are solely responsible for all travel, supply, competition material, and
organizational expenses.
To help fund these expenses, AAF will be working hard through out the
year by having various fundraisers such as bake sales and concession stands
but this isn’t enough. We
need your help! Outside
sponsorships provide us with more time to devote to competitions and
research.
