  13. Exploring Funding Avenues • Lebow & Ian • Our dues margin • Have a lot of people sign up to compete (drive down transportation costs per member as well as • The Honors College • Corporate Sponsorships • Fundraising (T-shirts) • Increase membership in PBL through membership drives

  14. Reality • Despite some of the costs, there is lots of opportunity to be had to learn and have a more rewarding experience • This will be the most prominent and most fulfilling event that we do • If I can get 40 or more registered members to pay, there is a possibility to seek additional funding (I need a sense of unconditional commitment)

  15. Questions & Answers • At this point, I would like to entertain any questions or concerns now or you may drop me an email at dab572@drexel.edu
