+Arndtwe Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 im doing this event (non-geocaching related), where there will be a scavenger hunt using GPS systems. anyway, since im in charge of doing the hunt, i was thinking that i would set up a few temporary containers. in each container there will be a "token" of sorts(not sure what it will be yet). then, when everyone has completed the all the containers, there will be a winner. i'd like to give out some cool prizes, but i dont want to spend very much money on this. by "cool", i dont mean something like a sticker, i mean something that they can use. well, my whole point of starting this topic is to see if anyone knew exactly where to call or send an email to garmin to ask them to sponsor me(so i could give away some cool prizes). and yes, i did check their official website, but it didnt have any links or anything that i thought was it, maybe i missed it, idont know. so if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated! thanks!

+cache_test_dummies Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 It is my understanding that Groundspeak doesn't allow sponsor participation at events anymore (I may have misunderstood). You might want to run this idea by your reviewer before you put too much effort into getting a sponsor. Link to comment
+Arndtwe Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 you misunderstood, this event is NOT a geocaching event. it is an event for the "new life pregnancy center" staff. sorry for that Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Ah - I see that now. I was watching a stunning finish to a Red Sox game and skipped right over your 'non-geocaching' note. Sorry about that. Good luck with your non-geocaching event! Link to comment
+Arndtwe Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 ha, thanks. do you know where i can contact them? Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 If I knew I'd tell ya, but I don't, so I can't. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Arndtwe. Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 ha, thanks. do you know where i can contact them? Go to their website, get their ground-mail address, and send them a letter. The vast majority of companies ignore emails asking for sponsorships. Link to comment
+carleenp Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) On their website, under the pull down menu for "company," is the contact page. Edited September 13, 2007 by carleenp Link to comment
+Arndtwe Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 On their website, under the pull down menu for "company," is the contact page. i saw this, but none of the links seem to be anything that i should go through for what i want Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Contacting the company direct is the way to go. Email, letter or phone. When I have contacted them regarding things like you are looking for via email, they have been nice and have sent my email to the correct person. That is what the contact address is for... to centralize communication and redirect it where it needs to go. Asking here is not the best way to accomplish your goals. Since this is not geocaching related, I am going to close the topic. Link to comment
